With help from a spotter equipped with high-powered binoculars (background), three American soldiers fire at nearby enemy sniper positions from their hilltop base west of Chu Lai in Vietnam, Aug. 19, 1969.
This shot is from the last roll of film received from Associate Press photographer Oliver Noonan (age 29) before the helicopter in which he was riding was shot down by enemy ground fire some 30 miles south of Da Nang the same day, on Aug 19, 1969. Loss of all on board helicopter.

A soldier is lowered into a tunnel by members of the reconnaissance platoon, April 1967.
Tunnel rat would certainly not be my job of choice.
Hey … no biggie. You have a flashlight and a knife. So, all is good. 
How brave does one have to be to volunteer for "Tunnel Rat" duty!?
