Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton hosted a wreath laying ceremony at the Pacific Views Events Center here, Sept. 12, to commemorate the 64th Anniversary of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. After the ceremony, Korean War Veterans and their family members with the Col. William E. Barber Chosin Few Chapter of Orange County paid their respects at a monument, which was constructed five years ago through donations. The story of the “Frozen Chosin” and their bravery against overwhelming odds is a staple of Marine Corps history, alongside other stories such as Tripoli, Belleau Wood and Iwo Jima. It is taught to Marines during boot camp to this day. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Shaltiel Dominguez)
