Near Tobin Performing Arts Center, San Antonio, Texas.   Battle of Hill 881 South near Khe Sanh, South Vietnam in the Spring of 1967. What caught my attention was the detail of the radio carried by the Marine RTO.  Not sure what radio it is, resembles PRC-25.  Don't know if I ever saw a radio more clearly depicted on a statue, pays tribute to those Operators and equipment.  The eQSL reminded me of photo I had taken.
