Reading for history buffs I have found some interesting online reading for anyone interested in American troops in the Korean War. (Conflict) Army Historical Series Combat Actions in Korea by Russell A. Gugeler UNITED STATES ARMY IN THE KOREAN WAR EBB AND FLOW NOVEMBER 1950-JULY 1951 by Billy C. Mossman SOUTH TO THE NAKTONG, NORTH TO THE YALU (June-November 1950) by Roy E. Appleman More Korean War reading These accounts were written by US Army and Marine historians. They are frank and sometimes brutally honest. Only those young men who were there can really judge. The rest of us can only imagine what is was like for these brave young men. My hat is off to every one of them. NOVA aired a show about the Air war in Korea recently. It really warmed by heart to learn that Buzz Aldrin had flown 66 F86 combat missions there. Years later he left his footprints on the moon. Now, that's an all American boy.
