Here's to your Uncle Ray. I'm with lksteve - "who cares about breakfast?"!.
I know the Marines didn't get the cream of the crop but I thought the O3A3s were in pretty wide distribution by the start of WWII. That's a very nice O3 though. IIRC the background is one of the Marine poncho/shelter half combos. I remember seeing one years ago - and pitying the poor bastards who got it issued to them. Since it's in such good shape can I assume it's actually Korean War vintage? Peregrino
