Marine 2nd Lt. Ronald Echols gives a watch to Marine 1st Lt. Mike Bonacci as they reunited after serving together in Khe Sanh, Vietnam, 29 Jan. 2020. During the battle, Bonacci was medically evacuated from the field and gave Echols his watch saying he wouldn’t need it in the hospital. Echols conducted an internet search and found Bonacci in the Fredericksburg area. Echols lost the original watch but decided to replace it with the one in the photo with the Marine Corps Eagle Globe and Anchor. Echols received a Bronze Star and a battlefield commission for his actions during the Battle of Khe Sanh.
