    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)
