Blast from the past. Mortar stuck in a Marine's shoulder...a story I thought was a myth...


View this post on Instagram
In October 1966, Pfc.Nguyen Van Luong was riding in the back of an APC when enemy 60mm mortar round struck the hatch of the carrier, going through his helmet and lodging the live round into his shoulder, knocking him unconscious. Capt. Harry Dinsmore was at the chow hall in Danang when he was called up for an emergency surgery. When he saw the xrays, he thought it was a joke but soon realized it wasn't. He immediately called an explosive handler to help him, they surrounded the operating table with sandbags and he went to work. The shell was removed within 30 minuted and it was dismantled outside. Luong recovered within a few weeks and only suffered muscle damage. Disability rating 0. #zerofoxtrot #stayzero #luck
