WOW, the frozen Chosin??!! Hes a walking miracle..
Two years ago I attended a reunion of the (artillery) battery I was with in VN. Also there was the battery's former Gy/Sgt who I vaguely remembered.
During the evening his wife mentioned that he had made the landing at Inchon ... AND ... survived the Chosin Reservoir.
I was absolutely flabbergasted to be speaking with a living icon of MC history.

I read about Ku Nu Ri, Naktong, the ‘frozen Chosin’ and other fights.... It is hard to believe that human beings can survive that kind of thing.
