Throwin it back to The Chosin Few. On this day in 1950, Marines from the 1st Marine Division began the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. No Marines have ever faced worse weather, terrain or odds than those who fought at Chosin Reservoir. Outnumbered 8 to 1 and surrounded by the enemy, Marines fought through 10 Chinese infantry divisions and -40 degree snowstorms to rejoin their allies at sea. We’ve been looking for the enemy for several days now. We’ve finally found them. Were surrounded. That simplifies our problem ... —Col Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller, Commander of 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division #ThrowbackThursday #TBT
