“Chosin,” winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2010 GI Film Festival opens in theaters this week. Produced by combat decorated Marines (and NY City friends) Brian Iglesias and Anton Sattler, this Academy qualifying theatrical exhibition is sponsored by PepsiCo. *****************************************************

After 60 years of silence, the survivors of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign of the Korean War take viewers on an emotional and heart-pounding journey through one of the most savage battles in American history. In the winter of 1950, 15,000 U.S. troops were surrounded and trapped by 120,000 Chinese soldiers in the frozen mountains of North Korea. Despite overwhelming odds, the men never lose faith in each other. Refusing to surrender, the men fight their way to freedom through 78 miles of unforgiving, mountainous terrain and ultimately save the lives of 98,000 civilian refugees.

Thank you for this post.

Chosin was an incredibly brutal battle. I’ve read accounts, but this film should bring the realities of war into sharp focus for everone. I’m sure this film will bring a few tears to every viewers eyes.

Stand up and salute all of our vets and service men and women, and thank God that He has graced us with their service.

The DVD order link is not yet active. I sent them an email requesting info on when and where to order. I’ll post it here after I get a reply.

I used to be one of those guys! Keep up the fire!

I carry my coin to this day; paid off a couple of years ago when a “consultant” said he’d been a Manchu and I coined him. MMM, coined beers are the best.

Pinging my list -

I rarely ever ping my list for anything other than humor (it is a humor ping list, afterall), so please forgive me, this is not a ‘humor’ ping, but I’m sure that some of you will be most interested in getting the Chosin DVD. See my post # 8.

Back in the 80s, I worked with a guy who was there. It was the middle of winter, we worked at a Gas station that was full service and it was cold, bitter cold with a wind that cut thru my work coat. He came out wearing only a flannel jacket, shirt and Dickee work pants and boots. I asked him”aint you cold” and he smiled and said”Buddy, I was at the Chosin, this aint cold”.
God Bless the vets of the “Forgotten War”
