The original photo was taken in May of 1966, when the four Marines, fresh out of boot camp, decided to enjoy their weekend away from San Diego's Camp Pendleton by heading to the beach in Oceanside, California.

“We were just goofing around. I’m not sure where we even got the surf board. It wasn’t ours,” Hanks told TODAY.

The men had developed a tight bond throughout their seven months of training. From Camp Pendleton, the men eventually were shipped out to the Philippines for more preparation.

Pretty incredible that they all survived Vietnam and everything that went with experiencing war.

The guy in the middle is really named is Tom Hanks. Here he is holding a bazooka in Vietnam:
