An experience so monumental that it has come to represent, even encapsulate, the ongoing struggle between the forces of oppression, tyranny, and authoritarianism and those who believe in freedom, justice, and democracy. The Chosin Campaign, correctly called \u201cChangjin&#8221; in Korea,\u00a0was a defining moment in history.<\/p>\n<p>The two-week long battle, pitting approximately 30,000 US, ROK, and British troops against 120,000 Chinese soldiers, occurred in the worst of conditions: excruciatingly cold weather, brutal terrain, and deadly isolation.<\/p>\n<p>The snow, ice, wind, and below-zero temperatures, combined with towering mountains, plunging cliffs, and treacherous roads, were perfect for a Himalayan mountain-climbing movie set. Not a battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions at Changjin were so bad that Oliver P. Smith, the commanding general of 1st Marine Division-the largest unit at the Reservoir and the one that did the most fighting-said it was \u201cnever intended for military operations.\u201d Anyone who fought there would agree.<\/p>\n<p>But the Chinese were the real enemy. The disciplined, courageous, and seemingly tireless Chinese soldiers were everywhere. The 1st Marine Division, surrounded and vastly outnumbered, was in one of the most precarious and potentially disastrous predicaments of any unit in Marine Corps history, arguably in American history.<\/p>\n<p>Through herculean efforts, exceptional war-fighting skills, and countless acts of valor, the Marines broke out of the trap and made their way to Hungnam, a North Korean port on the East Sea. By the end of December 1950, 105,000 servicemen and 100,000 North Korean refugees had been evacuated in one of America&#8217;s largest sea-borne withdrawals. Mao\u2019s boast that the 1st Marine Division would be annihilated in \u201conly a matter of time\u201d had backfired. It was the last time the Chinese leader would ever threaten to obliterate a US Marine unit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1115\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1115\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Changjin-ceremony-1.jpg\" alt=\"invitation from MPVA\" width=\"640\" height=\"381\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An invitation from the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yesterday, I was privileged to participate in an event honoring the brave men who fought at Changjin. The ceremony, held at Seoul National Cemetery, was a moving tribute to the Marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors who suffered, sacrificed, and died in the remote mountains of North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Pi Woo-jin, the ROK&#8217;s Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (comparable to the US Veterans Administration) attended the ceremony, and on behalf of ROK President Moon Jae-in, thanked the Changjin veterans for their sacrifices. President Moon has a personal connection to the campaign. His parents were North Korean refugees and were rescued during the Hungnam Evacuation.<\/p>\n<p>I also heard\u00a0Major General James W. Lukeman, Commander of US Marine Corps Forces Korea, give a heartfelt and powerful address on the Changjin Battle\u2019s significance to the Republic of Korea, the United States, and the US Marine Corps. Echoing the words of President Moon in his <a href=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/index.php\/2017\/07\/01\/home-again-home-again\/\">speech this summer <\/a>at The National Museum of the Marine Corps, Gen. Lukeman reminded the nearly 10,000 attendees that without the sacrifices made at Changjin and Hungnam, the lives of 100,000 refugees-and South Korea\u2019s freedom-would have almost certainly been lost.<\/p>\n<p>Especially memorable for me was the recognition given to my grandfather, Colonel Edward H. Forney, USMC, the\u00a0evacuation control officer at Hungnam. Col. Forney was recognized for the part he played in rescuing the refugees, and I was honored to represent our family at the event.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thankful for the MPVA and the Korea Military Merit Awardees\u00a0Association (KMMAA) for organizing the ceremony\u00a0and\u00a0for Mr. John Lee, a Changjin veteran and\u00a0interpreter\u00a0for 1st Marine Division, for inviting me.\u00a0Looking back on the afternoon, I feel\u00a0privileged to have been part of\u00a0the special occasion.<\/p>\n<p>From\u00a0Lee Gyeong-pil&#8217;s (&#8220;Kimchi 5&#8221;) emotional letter of appreciation to those who participated in the Changjin Battle and Hungnam Evacuation, to talking with Mr. Jean White, a US Marine Changjin veteran and president of the Chosin Few, the\u00a0observance\u00a0was an\u00a0<em>outstanding\u00a0<\/em>tribute to truly\u00a0<em>outstanding<\/em>\u00a0men.<\/p>\n<p>Semper Fi!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Changjin-cermony-7.jpg\" alt=\"Speakers at the ceremony\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"480\" width=\"601\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\tLee Gyeong-pil (&#8220;Kimchi 5&#8221;) reads an emotional letter of appreciation to Chosin (Changjin) veterans.
