Emmett Shelton Sr. tells of his son Emmett Jr. -- A young Marine Rifleman in the Frozen Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. Roughly, 73 years ago today.!
The temperatures were below zero. 15,000 Allied troops were attacked by 120,000 Chinese. By Late December, the remaining Forces were evacuated by a 75 mile march out. An estimated 100,000 civilian evacuees left with the Forces. In that month, Allied forces suffered 12,000 casualties, including 3,000 KIA and 6,000 WIA. Emmett Jr, was evacuated for frostbite which led to full disability later in his life.
