17,000 Marines were surrounded by 120,000 Chinese troops. Their vicious, gut-wrenching breakout from their encirclement, though hardly remembered these days, is one of the most harrowing and heroic tales in U.S. military history.

In the fox interview they said this battle is taught in the marines.

He hardly ever spoke of it.

It left a lasting impact on him.

There is no greater trust between men than that which exists between Marines.

I had two uncles there. Neither knew each other. One was Dad’s younger brother, a Marine Gunny. The other Mom’s BIL, an Air Force FAC.

The story of Chosin is one of the most astounding and outstanding stories of all times. Truly a time when uncommon valor was common.

I’ve tried to read every account of the battle I could and am more humbled and my respect for the Corps increases each time I read more.

We owe it to these men and those like them to never submit to the enemies of liberty that reside...in...this...country.

I agree, it's staggering what they did, almost unimaginable even when you read about it and know they did it.

They get together regularly, although my uncle says that there are fewer and fewer every year. Sometimes a bunch of them talk at educational events. My nephew did a school report and my uncle arranged for several of the Marines to contribute by telling him their stories.

We need to listen to them and remember what happened. Nothing PC about it.
