Ground Casualty

During September 1970, the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division conducted offensive operations in their assigned area of responsibility west and south of Da Nang in Quang Nam Province, RVN. Their primary mission was to defend the Da Nang vital area military complex. At approximately 9:40 AM on September 11th, two Marines from H Company, 2/1 found a booby trap placed at a waterhole 100 yards from their platoon patrol base located eight kilometers (4.8 miles) northwest of Dien Ban. The boobytrap was an M33 grenade in a C-rations can with an 18-inch tripwire suspended across the trail. The Marines removed the boobytrap and carried it towards their patrol base when they were intercepted by a platoon sergeant, SSGT James M. Ball, who took custody of the device and moved to a nearby berm to dispose of it. 

His plan was to remove the grenade from the can and throw it over the berm. The platoon radio operator and corpsman observing Ball from 40 yards away admonished him not to separate the grenade from the can because the delay mechanism may have been removed. Ignoring their warning, the grenade exploded six feet from Ball after pulling it from the can. He was critically injured, receiving fragmentation wounds to the neck, chest, abdomen, right shoulder, back, and right hip. Three other Marines nearby were also injured, one critically. They were medivacked to the 1st Medical Battalion in Da Nang. Ball required resuscitation upon arrival followed by emergency surgery. He never regained consciousness and subsequently developed bilateral (double) pneumonia. Despite massive antibiotics and assisted respiration, Ball’s condition failed to improve, and he expired at 9:25 PM on September 16, 1970. 

Ball, 28, was on his third tour of Vietnam. He had been extensively trained in handling booby traps, and his unit reportedly received weekly lectures on booby trap precautions including the Viet Cong practice of removing the delay device from grenades. It was noted in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines Command Chronology for September 1970 that the failure of Ball to follow practices emphasized in training at the cost of his life would be reiterated in future instruction.

I can barely type this without bursting into tears, this time of year has been hard for me my entire adult life but this is the ultimate gut punch. He was a Veteran, retired LAPD, Indiana Jones Enthusiast, Saints Fanatic, Model-T Expert, Avocado Extraordinaire, Nickname Aficionado, Grill Master, Pirate. Certified Baby and Puppy Whisperer, He could fix literally anything, Knew all the words to every song by the Doors, Can quote episodes of California Gold, Loved red meat and red potato salad. Dad, you were so stubborn, funny, smart, handsome, kind, giving, strong, talented, selfless and wise. But your best quality is how much you cared about, sacrifice for, and loved your family and your country. Thank you for making @ragtymestation a mom, for giving me great siblings and a great work ethic. Thanks for teaching me how to throw a football and change a tire. Thanks for giving me the nickname "Lumpy", the shoulders of a line backer, and the hands of a power forward. Thanks for teaching me to stick to what I believe in and to never let other people's opinions sway my own. You're like, a really great father. I love you, Ed Largey, time to "break on through to the other side".

Sidebar: I am very grateful and thankful for my family, friends, all of my clients, and colleagues who helped me get him into the right doctors and take the time off to spend his last days with him.
