They’ve been in Heaven longer than I’ve been alive and I’m 52 years old. God has always known where they were. Now their families do too.

Above is a picture I took in Oct 2008 at Chipyong-ni, Republic of Korea. This view is taken from the foot of the hill in front of G Co. positions, in a former minefield, looking SW. In the middle of the picture you can see the utility poles that run along the road taken by Task Force Crombez as they broke in to relieve the encirclement in Feb. 1951.
The Chinese held the hills in the background of the photo. Every night, thousands of Chi-com troops came down off the hills and charged across the rice fields in the photo, only to be mown down by the brave men of the 2nd ID dug in along the inner perimeter that the U.S. troops (and the valiant French brigade)held around the village of Chipyong-ni. Our troops held out for three days at 10:1 odds and handed the Chinese their first major defeat of the war.
Lest you think Korea looks like it does on MASH, think again. I'd equate it to the Adirondacks or the Green Mountains of Vermont. Very rugged terrain and the hills are quite steep.
Glad to hear that our MIA's continue to be repatriated to the U.S.
My visit to Chipyong-ni was wonderful. The people there were very friendly and were quite impressed that I was interested in the Korean War and the battle that was fought around their village. South Korea is a vibrant country and the sacrifices of our miltary were well-rewarded.

Prayers for their eternal rest...
