O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

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

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

OK, it was good but not a great documentary. I have seen and read better accounts. This was more of a personal history and not a military history.
They overdid the not background but intrusive cello or whatever it was constantly playing.

Can’t remember which of these quotes is my favorite from the Frozen Chosin...
“We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.”
“So they’ve got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards won’t get away this time!”
so, I’ll just say. . .”Good night Chesty Puller, where ever you may be.”

Chosin is the “forgotten victory” and this documentary tells the story in actual combat photos and interviews with survivors.
photos and newsreels of bodies stacked like cordwood, frozen where they died, are gruesome reminders of the unbelieveable hardships that the Americans underwent in temperatures of 40 degrees below zero.
Watch this and call your friends to watch it.
