      Hello Laurel, Dad, Bill Araujo, Marine from Pusan thru Chosin. I saw 2 Yancey's on 1st Provisional Marine Brigade roster. One was with Ser/1/11. Dad was with Artillery Unit B/1/11. Could one have been your Father? Dad passed in 2005. Thank you. Bill Jr.

    What a treasure of a gentleman. Very fortunate for him to survive, and oh so fortunate for us that his memory is so good, and that he was prepared to write down his memories. A very noble effort, total respect. The Korean War is known as the forgotten war, even on RUclips it is hard to find interviews, given the passage of time it is almost too late.

    Thanks for these. Helps me think about what my dad went through and why I am here at 55 years old typing this because of these brave Men who treated him. He was in the army infantry and came home with a purple heart and a bronze star because of these hills and the Men who saved his life. And he came home. Thank you!

      One of most epic battles in US history. My dad was one of first Marines in Korea. He arrived at Pusan with 1st Provisional Marine Brigade. He made Inchon Landing, at Seoul and Chosin. It is unimaginable what they went through.

    And we didn't learn a damn thing about the fallacy of "body count", repeating the same stupid "war of attrition" lunacy in Vietnam.
