<p>"Strongpoint ‘Nui Lon:’ Lance Corporal Joseph A. Gillette (St. Petersburg, Florida) takes a long look at the high ground known as Nui Lon.  Entrenched enemy snipers harassed the men from the 2d Battalion, 26th Marines [2/26] from this vantage point until young Marines like Gillette wrested it from Viet Cong control. The Leathernecks continue to assault the enemy on the Batangan Peninsula of South Vietnam on Operation Bold Mariner (official USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Bob Jordan)."
