The Korean War 1950-1953

This Iowa soldiers serving with the 3rd Division's "Rock of the Marne," are shown in this photograph sending a New Year's greeting from Korea in 1951. The 3rd Division's "Rock of the Marne" was known as a rapid-response unit and even nicknamed the "Fire Brigade," and while their last Korean combat was in 1953, the division remained in Korea until 1958.

And the politicians didn't call it a war, they called it a police action.
WTF.

In a few months from then the 5th Marines will be in the hell called The Battle of Chosin Reservoir.
Semper Fi.

Wow.
I like the white shirt team against the dark shirts.
White shirts might be a little chilly though ;)

I always wondered what it would be like if they took the red and blue lines away and let the lads skate.
