Popular Post Jim McCulloch Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2020 Several of us on this forum are former Marines or Marine "brats." Today marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the 17 day Battle of Chosin Reservoir. My dad, a sergeant in the First Marine Division at Chosin, later co-founded the Sea Angels scuba diving club with Mel Fisher. Their treasure hunting experience, along with that of the Depression Era "survival" gold prospecting experiences of my grandfather and great grandfather, influenced me greatly. Off topic, and reminiscing. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 One of the worst weather Wars of the time with 17,000+ American casualties. Just think what it would be like trying to fight outdoors with 1950 clothing in -35 degree weather. It is said that more casualties were from weather (non battle) than actual deaths fighting. From one Marine to the next...Semper Fidelis = Always Faithful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
