shame on an IGA

I was always curious what a major league pitcher could do with a grenade.

-300 foot throw and airbursts above a trench
-grenade thrown through exterior wall of house and explodes inside
-pitched through 16x16" 4th story window
-thrown into the box of a speeding Toyota pickup from 100 feet away
-forgot to pull pin but the grenade impacts with a guy's face at ~95mph and kills him
-tosses a curveball so it goes around a hapless civilian and lands at an insurgent's feet 15m directly behind the non-combatant.
-pulls a muscle and sits out for the rest of the war

Corporal John J. Spillane, Co. A, 2nd Amphib Tractor Batt.








Serial # 311385

Awarded the Navy Cross for action at Tarawa





Crew chief, Company A, 2nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion.



"For great personal bravery and heroic conduct. During the H-hour assualt, several enemy grenades on separate occasions were thrown into the troop compartment of his vehicle. Spillane began throwing the grenades out of the vehicle with absolute disregard for his own safety until one exploded in his throwing hand, mutilating it and causing severe multiple wounds elsewhere on his body. His dauntless courage and quick thinking saved the lives of the assualt troops in his vehicle."
