The Forgotten War !!

[NamGrunt68]

Well since I'm on a lil roll here this am, I might as well put my two centavo's worth on here about my feelings about our bro's that gave the "ultimate" sacrifice in Korea, and the bro's that were and still maybe are POW's over there.....
Our Gubmit called this one a "Police Action".....well I'll be damned if I've ever had the nerve to call it that when I been in DC around some Marine Survivors of the "Frozen Chosin".....tell one o them that and you'll be readin the back o yer eyelids for awhile !!!!
God Bless them Bro's that fought and won that "WAR"....if Truman would have let McArthur have his way, we would be worryin today about the North Chinese either !!!! Anyway A big HAND SALUTE to all the Korean WAR Vets !!!!!!! The Old Breed Lives on and they are my Greatest Generation !! (ceptin maybe fer my Nammy Bro's)......

After reaching Hungnam,41 RM Commando embarked with the 1st Marine Division.For its conduct in this bitter fighting,in which it lost half its strength,41st RM Commando was later awarded the high honour of a presidential unit citation.
