Description
MCB HAWAII, KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii(Dec. 7, 2001) -- From the time they enter boot camp, until the day they die, Marines are bombarded with stories of great battles the Marine Corps has been involved in, and arguably one of the greatest battles of American military history was the Chosin Reservoir.
The Marines who participated in that two-week struggle for survival, in the freezing North Korean landscape, faced overwhelming odds highlighted by minus-40 degree temperatures and surrounded by an enemy who outnumbered them almost 8 to 1.
Many stories surround the epic 14-day battle, but one stood out clearly in the minds of the Marines from the 1st, 5th and 7th Regiments of the First Marine Division.
