Former Marine trumpet player Marshal Milton identified this band as the 3rd Marine Division Band. He was there.
Curtis King wrote, "The band at Khe Sanh was of December '67...We flew hot Christmas dinner in huge vacuum containers for all the troops at Christmas dinner. We tied red and green smoke on our struts and had a large Santa Claus taped to the nose...we would come in with the hot chow and pop the smoke...." Thank you Curtis, for making Christmas "in country" just a little brighter for troops in a a dark place!!
