The Eighth Army Deputy Commanding General - Operations Brig. Gen. Trevor J. Bredenkamp delivers a speech during the 70th anniversary ceremony of the Battle of Hill 180 Feb. 5 at Osan Air Base.
“I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to say a few words today, this is the second time I had the privilege to attend this commemoration,” said Bredenkamp. “The last time I attended was 23 years ago and Colonel Retired Lewis Millet, the commander of Easy Company 27th Infantry “Wolfhounds”, who led the bayonet charge earning him the Congressional Medal of Honor was the guest speaker.”
Seventy years ago, on Feb. 7, 1951, during the Operation Thunderbolt, the Soldiers of the 27th Infantry Regiment’s Company E were led by then-Capt. Lewis Millet and were near Osan when they came under intense machine gun fire from Communist Chinese forces on Hill 180.
