Marines have Arrived - Vientiane

I feel as if this is one of the most important images in the collection because of its contrasts and metaphor. It is the inside of a cone hat sitting on the back of motorcycle. But for me the startling thing is the US Marine kerchief. Two disparate and once battling cultures are now so intertwined as to be decoration.
