On April 8, 1968 tour, Cleland was ordered to set up a radio station .. A helicopter flew him and two soldiers to Hill 471, When the helicopter landed, Cleland jumped out, followed by the two soldiers. They ducked beneath the rotors and turned to watch the liftoff. Cleland reached down to pick up a grenade he believed had popped off his flak jacket. The blast slammed him backward, shredding both his legs and one arm. He was 25 years old...
David Lloyd, 19-year-old enlisted Marine, was in a mortar pit on a hill near Khe Sanh when he heard the explosion. He ran to the injured officer, 'Hold on there, captain,' Lloyd told Cleland. 'The chopper will be here in a minute.'
When the medics arrived, he left to help another injured soldier — one of the two who had gotten off a helicopter with Cleland. That soldier was crying. 'It was mine,' he said, 'it was my grenade.' The private had failed to take the extra precaution when grabbing M-26 grenades from the ammo
