Ernest Washington | 1st Marine Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division - Marines

5:26   |   The shrapnel that tore into Ernest Washington's shoulder came from .50 cal machine gun bullets from the wing guns of a U.S. Phantom jet. This friendly fire led to a wound that didn't cause him much pain initially, but really alarmed him when he looked down and saw the bloody mess.
