Thanks, syriacus.

May they rest in peace and God bless them for their sacrifice.
The families should feel incredibly proud.

One day.

[exit82]

Every one of them soneone's son, brother, father, uncle, friend.

We have paid a high cost for our freedom and the freedom of others.

We are blessed to always have a supply of such men who will protect us, even to the point of giving their lives.

It is in their memory, and our obligation to never dilute their sacrifice, that victory in every military operation is the ONLY option.

[Griddlee]

In Nov. of 1950 the 31st RCT was destroyed in 5 days, only 385 GIs out of 3000 escaped across the frozen Chosin Reservoir to the 1st Marine perimeter where Chesty Puller threatened to shoot them if they withdrew as much as a foot from their assigned positions.

[syriacus]

One day.

Exactly. November 28, 1950 is the date of death for all these brave Americans.

Over 300 Americans died on November 27, 1950.

That means that well over 900 died in 2 days.

[syriacus]

I belong to a genealogical website. I did a search of the Korean War casualty records there for "deaths" on "November 28, 1950". The years and dates of births of the men are also in the records, but I deleted them before posting the names and states here.

Casualty information is also available at Korean War Casualty/Fatality Information

November 28, 1950 -- From the front page of the Waterloo Daily Courier

New War Started: MacArthur
Charges Red China with agression
Asks UN what step to take
Earnest Roberecht,Tokyo (UP)

A horde of 200, 000 Chinese communists swarmed over North Korea Tuesday, threatening to trap desperately fighting Allies in an offensive which Gen. Douglas MacArthur said marked the start of "an entirely new war."

The Chinese, pouring like locusts over the countryside as far as the human eye could see, ripped through a widening hole torn in the right flank of the UN line.

They could be seen along "every road, every gulley and every ridgeline," a First corps spokesman said. As the Chinese seized the offensive and rocked the Allies back on the defensive, MacArthur issued a bristling statement accusing the Chinese of hurling the major part of their fighting force against the UN.

MacArther said China's full-scale intervention the the Korean war posed issues beyond his authority and asked the UN what they wanted to do about it. Hopes of Ending War Shattered.

In a special signed communique, he said Red China had shattered his "high hopes" of an early end to the Korean war that would get American troops "home by Christmas."

There was no doubt that the Chinese assault had caused a crisis. [snip]

The ground forces called for desperately needed air support, and Allied planes went out to pour bullets and bombs on the Communist flood.

But they could not stem the Red tide.

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump.

[Belasarius]

They took a lot of crap and the survivors didn't impress the Marines they walked out with. This wasn't a bad unit. They had landed at Inchon and had fought all the way up to the point where they were destroyed.

If MacArthur, Ned Almond,and the rest had not been so blind to evidence of the oncoming Chinese intervention and hung them out there they wouldn't be dead and the Marines wouldn't have fought a legendary battle.

One point I noted in researching this was that, for once, the Marines were better equipped with cold weather gear. When these army troops were armed and sent out to screen the retreating column along the ridge tops where it was about 20 below they kept falling back and rejoining the column. They had been thorougly whipped.

I tried hard to find ONE survivor to talk or write to about James Bowman, who is up there on this list, I couldn't find one. I didn't realize exactly how few survivors there were.

Soldier Missing in Action from the Korean War is Identified Nov 28
Posted on 11/28/2006 3:38:54 PM EST by Dubya

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from the Korean War, have been identified and returned to his family for burial with full military honors.

He is Master Sgt. Robert V. Layton, U.S. Army, of Cincinnati, Ohio. He is to be buried today at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington D.C.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Someone should remind the AP which ran a story about how we have been in Iraq longer than the Korean war, that we are still at war with North Korea.

[Dubya]

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.
