It is believed by me and my brother that the Marine in the foreground, sitting and apparently exhausted, is our dad, Sgt Buckley E. O'Day, Sr.
I would really like to get a good copy of this picture.

LOVE THIS PHOTO! Holland Smith sitting there in his t-shirt, tattooed arms exposed. Every photo of Patton I’ve seen has him dressed up like he’s going to lead the VFW parade. What a contrast.
