Abstract

Sen. Dominick (R-Colo.), wearing a leather aviator jacket and holding glasses, shakes hands with Lieutenant Colonel John Cochran, commanding officer of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 333 (VMFA-333). Marine Major Henry Carr, also from VMFA-333, stands to the left of Lt. Col. Cochran, shaking hands with an unidentified man who can be seen over Cochran's left shoulder. The VMFA-333 insignia, a tiger's head on a shamrock with a lightning bolt in the background,... can be seen on Major Carr's right sleeve. Rear Admiral Baldwin stands on Cochran's right with his back to the camera. Vice Admiral Johnston can be seen over Rear Admiral Baldwin's right shoulder. Personnel aboard the USS America (CV-66) were conducting training exercises in the Atlantic Ocean prior to leaving for Vietnam in June 1972.
