The pictures are of the 1/7 corpsmen circa 1966.  The picture was taken on hill 55 on the Battalion side of the hill.  It's unusual that we would all be together like that.  It may have been when we moved from Chu Lai to DaNang.

Major Brian Dennis was serving in Iraq when a local dog took up with him. The dog’s ears had been cut off when it was a pup so Major Dennis named him Nub. Nub came around for months and obviously liked hanging out with the Marines. One day Major Dennis found a deep puncture wound on Nub. It had been inflicted on Nub with a screwdriver. Dennis and the other Marines nursed Nub back to health. No wonder Nubs loves his Marines and was willing to do whatever he had to do to find them when their unit was relocated …..

Major Brian Dennis, while serving in Iraq, found a dog who had his ears cut off as a pup and named the little guy nubs.

The three-hour special "Inside the Vietnam War" (8 p.m. EST on National Geographic) certainly isn't the most artful look at our involvement in Vietnam. Its rapid cuts between battle footage and interviews will make you long for the patient, thoughtful storytelling of Ken Burns. Despite these flaws, the battlefield footage is so exhaustive, so vibrant and at times so disturbing that it's hard to believe there were that many cameras so close to the action. Featuring more than 50 first-person interviews with Vietnam vets, "Inside the Vietnam War" offers a thorough retelling of the war's escalation through the voices of those who endured it. Features: An ambush of Suicide Charlie 1/7 Marines, Brief Interview with a Suicide Charley Marine.
