A headline with a question banners the issue of stars and stripes, the military newspaper, held by a GI of the U.S. 25th division at Cu Chi, South Vietnam on Sept. 10, 1969. The question asked is if there is a cease fire or not and if there is, whether it will be prolonged after the morning of Sept. 11, when funeral services for North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh are over. The soldiers shown are SP-4 John Gross of Muskegan, Mich., left, and an SP-5 Keith Bloom of Minneapolis, Minn.
