Attached is the 1st Mayaguez mission photo. These were sent
to my Mom by Cpt Michael J. Petherick, Office of the Staff Judge Advocate,
CINCPACAF, in November of 1975. Both photos (the one you already have
posted and this one) are B&W 8.5x11.
In this photo you can see Dave standing to the right of the
man in OD 507's, with his left side turned towards the camera and his
hand to his mouth. At the time this was taken, Dave had been made a
Panther Team leader (this from a letter he had sent to relatives two
days prior to the mission).
