SSi's and EGAs can be seen (ok, not all that well, but they can be seen)

More SSI's and EGA's

[jeb137]

The questions have been raised in the past on did the Marines put EGA's and paint their helmets. Many thoughts have been posted. I'm sure exceptions can be found either way. This Marine has neither.

 

From what I've read, they didn't paint their helmets until on the way home or once they were home.

Thanks Bobgee. I kind of think of this as a way to share what my Granddad brought home from the war with people, like you that really appreciate it.
