Marines from the 3rd Marine Division's 3rd Motor Transport Battalion receive bewildered looks from a Vietnamese girl at the Phu Thuong Orphanage near Danang on January 30, 1966. They had just gifted her a doll as part of a visit where the battalion distributed over $2,000 worth of toys and candy to the orphans. This photo, taken by SSgt. Peterson, highlights the gratitude expressed through the girl's eyes.
