Ground Casualty

On July 12, 1968, a patrol consisting of seventeen Marines and one Navy medic, call sign Lucky Luck, from 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, was on a reconnaissance and surveillance operation in Quang Nam Province, RVN, to detect possible Viet Cong troop movement or arms infiltration through the Elephant Valley and Garden of Eden area. They were also providing security for a radio relay team on Dong Den Mountain. While the patrol was on Dong Den, lightning struck the Command Post bunker, detonating defensive ordinance within the bunker. The explosions killed two Marines and injured five.
