Marines Help a Wounded Buddy Onto A Stretcher, July 12, 1968.

“Medical Evacuation: A wounded Leatherneck starts down the road to recovery as his buddies help him to a waiting stretcher and Marine helicopter which will transport him to a field hospital. The aircraft of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163 [HMM-163] carries a hospital corpsman as part of the crew to assist injured during the short flight from battlefield to aid station (official USMC photo by Staff Sergeant B. J. Collett).”
