Summary edit

Description

"I Believe: With an assist from Santa Claus, this young Vietnamese lass from Ky Lyn village, near the Marine Air Base, Chu Lai, eyes with anticipation the Christmas gift she received from this bearded gent. Santa will distribute more than 1,000 gifts to the Vietnamese youngsters in villages and hamlets near the base. He will be assisted by Leathernecks of Marine Aircraft Group 12 [MAG-12]. For the non-believers in Santa Claus, check with Marine Staff Sergeant Paul D. Christensen, 32 (Omaha, Nebraska) MAG-12 admin chief (official USMC photo by 1st Lieutenant Joe Collins)."
