Picture of the Day: A Bitter Winter

» by in: Korean War

Bitter cold, Bitter fight. While units of the U.S. Far East Air Force's Combat Cargo Command made an all-out effort to aid embattled units of the First Marine Division and Seventh Infantry Division, the men fighting in Korea were trying desperately to link up in their battle for survival. These Marines are shown moving on to the link-up point. Wet, stinging snow and ice made the operation the most difficult sort, as unleashed hordes of Communist troops charge again and again into the United Nations forces. AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM#: 78723 AC

    Hi Guys…I was wondering where I could send pics of the Incheon Landing anniversary ceremony that took place today, the 15th. It was in MacArthur Park, (Freedom Park / Jayu Kongwon) in East Incheon.

    The Korean Marines sure were looking sharp. As a former US Marine, I can recognize many similarities in the uniforms.
