Donald L. Versaw, now the last surviving member of the 4th Marine Regiment Band the Last China Band, proudly displays his French horn during his days as a musician. During World War II, the band was augmented into an infantry unit, where he laid down his horn, never to play as a member of the Marine band again. His unit was later captured and was held for more than three years as prisoners of war in Japan. (Courtesy photo provided by: Donald L. Versaw)
