Chosin, Korea, November-December 1950. Upon finding out his 1st Marine Division had been surrounded by 22 North Korean and Chinese Divisions Col. Puller replied, "All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time" The 1st Marine Division then proceeded to walk 80 miles to their evacuation point, crippling seven of the enemy divisions to the point of combat ineffectiveness while doing so. Upon reaching Hungnam, Col. Puller shrugged at the amazement of his peers and said, "...there are not enough chinamen in the world to stop a fully armed Marine Regiment from going where ever they want to go." Semper Fi and Happy Birthday to Chesty and all my Devil Dogs. Most notably those still in the sandbox. Keep the faith brothers!
