I am from South Korea. Thanks to you, all South Koreans, over 70% of all Koreans, are living freely. If it weren't for your help, my family and I would probably be living a terrible life in the worst country in the world. I truly appreciate it.
My grandpa was there and survived Chosin. He died in the 90s, but we just recently found a very formal letter to him from the Korean government thanking him for helping to build schools and helping the people. I know my grandpa absolutely loved the Korean people. He said they were hard-working and kind and he admired them very much!
My dad served there in 52 developed frost bite on his feet. Couldn’t handle the cold weather back home. He never talked about his experience there other he didn’t care for the Chinese. He loved the Korean My wife dad served in the marine corp wouldn’t marry her mom until he returned didn’t want her to be a widow. You are very welcome they would both do it again. My dad passed away in 02 and my wife’s dad in 08.
Thank you for giving your valuable perspective. Some young Americans don't understand why we fought in wars overseas. It's important for us to have these reminders that we did the right thing.
I served there in the army in 19993-1994 at a place called camp stanley. South and east a bit of uijongbu. Loved my year there. They have closed that base along with others now.....kinda sad if ya ask me.
I got the honor and privilege of meeting this hero today . I was waiting at the DMV office in Richmond Ky and he came up to me and asked me to scan a QR code that he had on a business card . I just knew this man had something I needed to see. Thank you for your service brother ! God bless you and yours and all that service our Country!
I had the same great honor while stuck annoyed at the DMV in Richmond.almost made me jump out of my skin he slipped up so quietly on me after sitting so long just tuned out.but as a Marine myself and my grandfather was there with this ole war horse sitting and talking with him for an hour or more even to the point of still swapping stories as I walk him and his wife to their car. Almost embarrassed that he is more than double my age and I'm certain he is sharper minded and quicker witted than I am.
I love the note of how the enemy “hadn’t fought any Marines yet.” They certainly knew they had fought some Marines afterwards! Thank you for your service!
Dad, a Marine, fought at Pusan, Inchon, Seoul and Chosin said they said " we don't mind fighting the Americans, the ones with leggings we don't like to fight."
My uncle, Verlynn Kukuk was a Marine fighting at the Chosin Reservior. He lost his arm and part of his foot. He was a farmer from South Dakota and rolled his own cigarettes one handed. I was born two years after the war ceased and my mother gave me part of his name, Lynn. I joined the U.S. Air Force and served 9 active years in Korea. My wife of 40 years is South Korean. God bless all these men who served in that terrible war that made it possible........
My uncle Duke, Albert Maturo served in Korea as a Marine. he told me some stories, but the thing that affected him greatly was the winter weather. He said it was -40 plus the wind chill. Uncle Duke grew up outside of Philly. After the war he never wanted to be cold again so he moved his family to California to be warm. My mom and his wife were very close sisters and it sadden them both. I also didn't get to hand with my cousins. The effects of war has many different repercussions that reverberate through the generations. RIP Uncle Duke.
My father was in the 45th Infantry in Korea, wounded twice, once mistakenly listed as KIA. Listening to him and his veteran buddies as a kid, it was unbelievably savage. Hand-to-hand, for real, again and again. These men who might seem frail today, who might be otherwise gentle people, are true warriors. One if the things we owe them is to honor their service by aggressively protecting our liberties, and those of others, at home
My grandpa fought in Chosin. Military gave them stripper clips so he got frostbite from having to take his gloves off to hand load the en block magazine for his Garand. He said there was "waves of Chinese Soldiers" coming over the hills. They fought hand to hand under parachute flares and were just fighting to make it to day break so the airforce could fly in. He said he was trying to sleep in a foxhole when the tarp covering it suddenly disappeared and they saw a Chinese soldier holding it in the air on the end of his gun. They then got into close quarters fighting. He had to pile up his frozen friends. I miss you my Gunny.
My grandpa and his brother (i guess my grand uncle) served in Korea. There is actually a book written about them called "The Windtalkers" (not the native american ones) about them putting up pirate radio stations for coms behind enemy lines. They were great men. My gramps and namesake lived to be 99 and he is so missed. Thank you for your service to all who served during Korea and all other conflicts.
As a U.S. Army Combat Veteran Paratrooper, I Salute you with the upmost Respect and Gratitude. Every member of Congress, every politician, judge, mayor, law enforcement official and city council member should be required to hear this man’s story. This man’s story is a great example of Duty, Patriotism, Service, Sacrifice, Commitment and Courage.
@@tombob671 I’ve met with and served with many Marines in my 23 years of service (Joint Operations/Joint Commands/Combat Deployments) and I have always admired and respected the discipline, loyalty and tenacity of the US Marines, on the battlefield and everyday training. The enemy (all enemies and potential enemies) are well aware of the US ARMY Airborne Units (Ranger/SF) and certainly the USMC units both of which will NOT give up or surrender. I am a Proud Airborne Paratrooper and I Salute you and the Men and Women of the United States Marine Corps 🫡 Airborne
Their well earned nickname , firemen of the Pusan Perimeter , then later became the Chosin frozen . A crying shame that they call it the forgotten war . God bless you sir .
I had an uncle, Gene Miller, in the service but I don't know which branch. I do know that he went missing for something like 6-8 weeks. He would not talk about. Maybe he was captured and got away, or he just got separated. He may have told him wife but our family didn't know. He has passed now. My other uncle served with the marines during WW2. He was in the Philippines and Japan. He watched them raise the flag at Ewojima (sp?). He spent time in fox holes and one night he was too hot so he slept outside. In the morning every man inside had been killed. He had PTSD very bad when he came home. Thank you for your service.
the end when hes talking about when they're going back to leave and said "chester puller hasn't went anywhere from where they landed and we marched in the camp singing the marine corp hymn" gave me goosebumps lol because i could only imagine how bad ass they looked marching in to that camp!!! God Bless this man his familyand all the men/women that fight for our freedom especially the ones that have gave their lives!
People don't know how hellish the Korean war was, especially during the battle of Chosin. It is a literal winter version of WW l, and it is criminal that these heroes are not recognized as one of the hardest fellas who ever lived on earth! I'm Korean and I owe you so much, not just me, literal ALL of my fellos Koreans as well. If these gentlemen's family member see this comment, THANK YOU for your service, and you MUST know how it was like to fight in Korean during the war! It was more hardcore than any modern wars.
I don’t know exactly where he was at, But he said; him and his buddy Harvey were cleaning their M1 Garands, and they both heard the North Koreans marching on the other hill, and Harvey grabbed my Grandpa’s safety switch, and Harvey said he would give it back when he got back, My Grandpa teary eyed said the last time he saw Harvey was when he was carried out in a stretcher with a bullet wound in the middle of his eyes, and the back of his head blown out.
my 95 yr old grandpa was a marine in Korea never really talked about it he did talk about being there during the peace talks really a shame they don't get the recognize they deserve he was drafted an eventually signed with the marines for a shorter tour cuz he was going either way he received a purple heart from catching shrapnel in the back
When my great grandfather died he died when I was like two years old maybe but I always ask my grandma and she always told me that he didn’t like to talk about it much. I wish he did because these stories are what I feel like the youth needs to be strong again.
I do the same thing, especially at work with my earbuds in. I love this series of veteran videos. Thank you for making them and helping to get their stories out. God Bless all of these veterans and their families. We would not have what we have if not for these guys!
Thank You so much for your service and lovely dedications to Our Beautiful USA!!! Dear American Marine Sir, Semper Fi!!!!!! ususususususus.....🥰😍🤗❤❤❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙💙💙💯🙏✝
The forgotten war we Americans forget about. Chosin res is a battle I will always remember. Don’t forget we pushed to far north and that battle was because upper management got to greedy!! Thank you marines for fighting and serving
🥲👏🏽🇺🇸Thank you for my freedom. South Koreans that I met love America and 🙏🏽 Pray for us. Thank you for telling your story and honoring your Fallen comrades.
Thank you Korean War veterans. The Korean War Memorial in DC is quite something to behold at sunup with nobody around. I found it to be an honorable tribute.
Marines are the very best fighting men we produce as a nation fearless in battle ... humble at home Here is to you USMC PACIFIC ISLANDS WWII 15:4915:59
The Korean War is aka as the Forgotten War -unappreciated by most except the South Koreans. We owe all we’ve become today to those that served and we forever thank the US. God bless!
Back when the COVID vaccine first came out I was on orders helping in the process of people getting vaccinated. I registered a Marine vet that landed in Incheon and fought in Seoul. I told him about how awesome Seoul is now, and how it wouldn’t have happened if not for him. Korea has been my favorite duty station so far, the war will never be forgotten to me.
How You Can Have Eternal Life ! Realize you are a sinner being sorry. Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9 Rev.1:5,Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39 I John 5:7,13,20
The "old man" was holding a 3' long sword in his hand. They stopped the old man from murdering them when they turned their backs on him. ..."they have eyes, but do not see. They have ears, but do not hear." 🥺
Officers were all real smart… Well that must exclude the two officers that were passengers in the jeeps driving down the middle of a road in a war zone. Derp

My Grandpa was in Korea- 1st Cavalry Division, attached to the 77th field artillery battalion- he’s got some wild stories….
Glad he made it back 2 tell em Semper Fi
cavalry? that's gnarly stuff. you should share some of those stories I bet its crazy. Thanks to your gramps
I’ll give you guys two stories,
I don’t know exactly where he was at, But he said; him and his buddy Harvey were cleaning their M1 Garands, and they both heard the North Koreans marching on the other hill, and Harvey grabbed my Grandpa’s safety switch, and Harvey said he would give it back when he got back, My Grandpa teary eyed said the last time he saw Harvey was when he was carried out in a stretcher with a bullet wound in the middle of his eyes, and the back of his head blown out.

Semper Fi sir!
Thank you for making me and my family’s life peaceful and be able to do the things I do today

Worked with a guy who was part of the lost platoon who discovered the Chinese at Chosin reservoir.
Respect due.
A comprehensive account of the "police action" is "The Forgotten War" by Clay Blair (1987).
Harry Truman couldn't, or wouldn't step up here..and guys like this really caught it....

TRUE AMERICAN HEROS
All this war buisness has to end. Lets all pray in our individual faiths that we can become wise enough squash it.
Until then, I'm glad we have Marines.
@nuclearrabbit1 Me too. But I'm greatly saddened that we send them off to die for Jews to profit.
Praise Jesus!
And the USMC!
Damn right they never fought any UNITED STATES MARINES 🇺🇸
Id like to know if these Marines could still qualify with there rifle
I’m a bet they could.
Do you remember Harold Lauper?
From one veteran to another I salute you Sir. God bless.
Was he a tanker or a special weapons guy because a foot is a damn big hole for a bazooka

Gut-wrenching story.

Was that old man just a civilian ? 😮 15:32
He had a concealed weapon so he shouldn’t have been a dumb azz
Larry didn’t think so.
That’s good enough for me.
@johe90 only if you interpret decorative ornaments as a weapon lol. Seems to me like it was just a walking cane.
