Korea anniversary
sparks remembrance
For several years there has been some controversy over the
subject of the Korean War. The forgotten war. It wasn't until
July 27, 1997, when the President signed the proclamation de
claring it a war, and to be observed each year on that day.
Many Veterans will never forget the day of June 25, 1950,
when the North Korean Army invaded South Korea in full
force. The South Korean army, caught by surprise, was no
match for the invading North Korean army.
The Republic of Korea asked the United Nations for help.
The United States was the first to offer help and sent in
troops on a police action to restore order in that continent.
But little did they know the North Korean army was much
more powerful than anticipated and were unable to put a halt
to the invasion and were also being pushed back
The green troops stationed in Japan as occupation troops
had no combat experience at all. It wasn't until the United
States could send in veteran troops, some from the recent
batdes in the South Pacific were sent in. Even they were
unable to control the invading North Korean army and were
being pushed back right along with the South Korean army
and all the refugees. It was a fight, pull back, fight , pull back
situation until they made their stand on the perimeter of
Pusan, South Korea. The big turnaround came when the
United States made the landing on September 15, at Enchon,
near Seoul, Korea. This cut off the supply lines to the North
Korean army and things started to go the other way and the
big push was north and they didn't stop at the 38th parallel;
instead they made their move on northward. By Thanksgiv
ing the troops were eating Turkey dinner along the Yalu
River, the northern border of Korea. The President made the
statement that the boys would be home for the holidays.
The Chinese had other ideas and joined forces with the
North Korean army where thousands crossed over the
boarder and started to push southward once again, cutting
troops completely off at the Chosin Reservoir, on November
27, where it took the troops until December 9 to reach the
port of Hungnam and they evacuated to regroup in the south
aim .

Many Korean veterans will always remember names like
Sniper Ridge, Heartbreak Ridge, Porkchop Hill, Old Baldy,
The Hook, Punch Bowl, Bunker Hill, T-Bone Hill, Chosin
Reservoir, where some of the toughest battles were fought.
The whole conflict was a hard fought mess as the Chinese
army out numbered the Americans from 5 to 10 to one on
the lines. ..
They applied the Psychological Warfare, where before the
big chare, they, would mass up and make all kinds of racket,
blowing bugles, pounding on gas drums shouting and just
making all the racket they could, and just that alone would
scare the pants off of a young green person who would be
facing combat for the first time. After all the noisemaking
then they would come charging over the ridge in a big rage.
By the time of the truce after three years of battle it was
reported that around 58,000 were listed as killed or missing in
action. The shooting stopped on July 27, 1953. When the
troops returned there were no big parades or bands, no
celebrations to greet the boys. Everyone seemed to want to
forget it ever happened. No matter what everyone felt like the
troops went through a tough time of suffering not only with
the enemy, but facing one of the coldest weathers in the
world where many lives were lost by freezing to death. But
we will always remember and honor all the men who served.

Priceless Treasures
In all of our lives there are treasures
More precious than silver or gold
And none of these priceless treasures
Can ever be bought or sold
The beauty that surrounds us all
Along life's thoroughfare.
Are treasured gifts given by God
For everyone to share
The sound of children's laughter
And good and faithful friends
Are treasures we shall cherish
Till our life's journey ends
Love for our children and their love for..
us
Is more precious than silver or gold
For our love is everlasting v
And can never be bought or sold. ss
Good Job and we love you guys. Love
Mom, dad, and Chalupe '
