The VC use to take regular HE grenades and paint them blue then put them with other training ammunition. Regardless of the color code, always worse case it. Plus some other country might just have a different color code.

Right and the Russians had a habit on not painting their ammo. left one guessing,, ,

My district mangager is Damon's mother-in-law. I receive word from her on a daily basis & just wanted to let everyone know on this site, including the author, that Damon is doing better. He has been moved from ICU down to step down ICU, & has been through 3 surgeries to remove shrapnal & repair injuries. He had to have his spleen removed, a lung repaired, & intestines repaired, among other things, but is doing better. His mom & wife are currently with him in Washington D.C. After reading this account of everything that you guys went through I cannot express my sincere gratitude, in words, for everything that you & your fellow military men & women are doing for us back here in the states. I have another dear friend over there as well, his name is Ken Santee, if you see him tell him hi for me, but above all everyone over there, please be safe.
