Here's a good article on a 96-year old Marine vet who passed away this week in Spokane. He was injured at Pearl Harbor, served through the war and was recalled to service during the early days of the Korean war, where he was wounded on December 5. The photos accompanying the article say he was at Chosin, likely where he was injured, given the date.
I can't imagine the stuff he went through and saw.
"During the next two years, Garland served aboard the Tennessee and participated in the Aleutian, Marshall and Gilbert Islands campaigns.
After the war ended in 1945, he married, moved to Spokane and started a family. But soon the Marines came calling again.
In 1950 he was recalled to active duty when the Korean War broke out. He spent 10 months in Korea with the 1st Marine Division. While he was one of the youngest at Pearl Harbor, when he landed at Inchon, he was one of the oldest.
“They called me, Dad,” Garland said. He was 27.
Just like in Pearl Harbor, he didn’t get out of Korea unscathed. During a firefight, a bullet ricocheted and struck him in the leg."
