"and a veteran Marine Division that stopped them"

My dad arrived there when they were worried they'd be overrun (July '50).

He was US Army with the 29th Infantry Regiment and later survived the Hadong Ambush.

He celebrated his 18th birthday in Pyongyang.

I still have the letter he wrote to my grandma on waxed paper on his birthday.
