    Korea as a US ally was right on time. These Korean people realized we were there for a purpose and appreciated the support. Unlike Marvin the Arvin, Korean Military units served and excelled in co-operation with US Forces. When operating with the ROK Marines and Army, we knew they had our backs and vice versa, excellent inter-action. Did note on my first tour the Park Chung Hee was akin to his North Korean counterpart in a few areas. Once the country got whipped into change the democratic process got rolling. My first tour began in '66, second in '81 and those people had experienced some upward mobility.

    Millions of skumbag commie dog CHINESE regulars killed alot of our men yet for the most part the always out numbered Marines and Rangers/Army still managed to kill many many thousands of them and did dam good jobs despite often being outnumbered by far superior numbers of enemy forces.

    One of our many lost brave great America boys of the Korean War.

    Citation:
    On June 9, 1951, he earned his first Purple Heart when was wounded near Yanggu, and after leaving the field hospital, was assigned a position as a property sergeant. After a week at the new job, he asked to rejoin his buddies in his old infantry platoon, and was allowed to do so.

    On September 16, 1951 during the Battle of the Punchbowl his company was assaulting Hill 749, where the Korean People's Army had established several entrenched positions. A vicious enemy counter-attack drove back a forward platoon with heavy casualties, and along with two other volunteers from his reserve platoon, he dashed into hand-to-hand combat in the midst of the swarming enemy to give the Marine company time to consolidate its positions.

    Later, when a call went up for anautomatic rifleman to defend an isolated heavy machine gun position on the flank of his company’s sector, he again volunteered. With heavy casualties leaving a 100-yard (91 m) gap in the Marine lines at the position, he fought a single-handed battle to prevent an enemy breakthrough. Leaping from one side of the position to the other, he kept up a withering fire of over 1,000 rounds in three hours. He made repeated trips through heavy shellfire to replenish his ammunition, manned a machine gun after its gunner fell, and despite enemy penetration to within feet of his position, kept the enemy out of the breach in his company’s lines until he was killed. The next morning the Marines counted almost 200 enemy dead in the area.
