for over a century , narcissi have been the symbol of montreux and the areas above the vaud riviera . every time the region was mentioned , their flowering in may was highlighted as a unique phenomenon . during the belle epoque period , when narcissi came into flower in may , it was the attraction of the year .
unfortunately , the abundance of the vaud riviera ' s symbolic flower is steadily decreasing , both in the region of les pléiades and in the areas above montreux . thus , may snow , as the blooming of countless flowers is called , will be nothing more than a pleasant memory in a few years to come if no action is taken as a matter of urgency .
if your an athlete , competitive , and like figuring things out on your own , this is the place for you . the people at riviera are some of the best people i know , and a fun bunch of individuals . everyone is there to answer questions and grab a drink after a rough day . lots of room for growth if you drink the juice and put in the hard work .

great diverse team with a lot of fun events . a good place for flexible and self driven work . gave the opportunity to meet industry elites and work broadly across the company . i really enjoyed working with the owners and recruiters directly .
they fired me 3 days into a two week vacation by closing my accounts and contacting me vaguely via my personally email . the company laid off a whole swath of employees but didn ' t bother to contact me or inform me until i got back . i found this incredibly unprofessional for a company that specializes in recruiting . while i worked there , the data science team outsourced too much of the work offshore and then required the in house data scientists to spend twice as much time fixing the code and models . this resulted in poor performance models and having to make up benchmarks to justify ourselves to management .
outsourcing has cost you more than data science ever would have cost . look into the efficacy of your products for yourselves .
great place to launch your career and really great culture ; well known in tech recruiting .
pay is terrible and you will be easily taken advantage of , as an intern or non - partner .
- unlimited pto , if you can get over the guilt trips they give you when you use it . - great place to start a career .
- base pay is a joke - they recently started paying bonuses in rivi stock options . - you have to use their internal ats that is pretty weak .
their on - boarding process is extremely disorganized and lacks any real value . compared to other startups , they do not put in any real effort to make you feel welcomed to the team ( aside from some individuals ) . coming in you are expected to be proactive and ask questions or you will not succeed . if you do not lean on team members or people close to you , the higher ups will not help . also , it is a very bro culture . for women , if your not a strong female who was an athlete or grew up with a brother you will hate it . lot ' s of politics at the top level , the executive team is stubborn . change is often , turnover is high .
if you truly want to succeed as a company and retain top employees , you need to start taking the feedback from the people you want to invest in to heart . also , learn from your past mistakes . take some accountability in the unfavorable things people have said and done and not make excuses for them .
if you weren ' t a white dude , you were a second - class citizen . horrible place for women and anyone who wanted a life outside of the company . super high turn over rate . i left around the same time as 15 others . also , the pay is a joke .
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile . are you sure you want to replace it ?

housing partnership ( hp ) was formed in 1986 after a palm beach county affordable housing task force recommended that the county form a public - private partnership to address the need for affordable housing in the county . william finley , chair of the task force , took the initiative to form hp and was instrumental in hiring its first ceo , george steele . steele and finley successfully secured funding for the first several years of operation , which consisted primarily of grants from the county and the john d . and catherine t . macarthur foundation . the organization’s focus for the first five years was on public policy work and first time homeownership for low and moderate income families , including housing production .
during the early 1990s a new ceo , john corbett , developed a strategic vision to expand into other housing activities , most specifically multi - family rental apartments and housing for special needs . through owning and managing apartments , hp began to recognize the need to provide other support services to families residing in those communities . our growing experience in housing production and neighborhood revitalization was also teaching a similar lesson . the staff and board embraced the concept that the condition of the real estate in our neighborhoods was a reflection of the social and economic condition of the families living in the homes . therefore , in the mid - 1990s housing partnership developed its campus for living program , a holistic and proactive approach to linking our families with traditional social services in order to improve their lives .
this focus on building stronger families instead of real estate transformed the organization and changed its culture . housing became just one of several services and programs provided to our customers . one of the most successful new programs to develop out of the campus for living program was the youth enrichment academies , a very structured , organized and disciplined after school program for school - aged children . another successful program emerging from this concept was the supportive housing program , which combines housing and social services to help special needs adults and families live independently . in 1996 housing partnership was honored to be named a chartered affiliate of the national neighborworks america , created and funded by the u . s . congress to promote neighborhood revitalization and affordable housing .
our experience of working directly with children in their schools and families in their communities taught the organization a lot about neighborhood and community impact . hp began to see children in the context of their families and families in the context of their neighborhoods . this knowledge prepared hp to expand its community development efforts by operating community centers on the grounds of elementary schools in disenfranchised neighborhoods . this concept originated in new york and was brought to the county by the children’s services council in 2002 . housing partnership currently operates six of ten bridges centers in palm beach county and is viewed as a leader in this arena .
during this transformation , a large number of the growing staff came from the community mental health and social services profession . prior experience in community development combined with the perspective of new staff led to an increased interest in children’s mental health and child welfare . in 2001 the state asked corbett if he would be willing to contact the board of a struggling children’s community mental health center , parent - child center ( pcc ) .
founded in 1979 , pcc was created to address the community mental health needs of children and their families in palm beach county . in the 1980s and 1990s , pcc was the premier provider of behavioral health services for children and families throughout the county . innovative programs and research were conducted through the center , and it established critical services for some populations that were considered
hard to serve .
at the turn of the century , however , rapid growth and mismanagement impacted the center , pushing it to the brink of closing in 2001 . since the agency provided essential services to the community , the department of children & families ( dcf ) approached housing partnership , having demonstrated a track record of responsible management , to help keep parent - child center’s doors open .
soon after , housing partnership agreed to assume the management and financial support of parent - child center , allowing it to continue providing valuable services to its clients while restoring quality care , developing internal capacity , and expanding its programs . both organizations , now working together , developed a strong corporate culture that embraced state of the art management concepts around best practices in all its service areas . a strong organization - wide commitment to excellence emerged .

the korean war national museum ( kwnm ) is a private-sector non-profit illinois-based corporation headquartered in springfield , illinois .

the kwnm seeks to create a museum and educational program to help people understand american participation in the korean war ( 1950-1953 ) , especially from the point of view of the men and women who served in combat and support roles .

founded in 1997 , the kwnm reorganized in 2010 with the goal of expanding itself and building an accredited museum facility in new york city .

a 10,000 square foot kwnm facility , the denis j. healy freedom center , currently operates in springfield , illinois . open tuesday-saturday 10am-5pm .

the troops of 23 nations , including the united states of america , south korea , and 21 other nations that fought under the flag of the united nations , are expected to be honored by this national museum .

in 1950-1953 , an estimated 6 million u.s. men and women served in the armed forces , although not all of them were actually stationed in korea .

korean war national museum

the museum is the nationally - designated museum for the korean war honoring the brave men and women who served .

federal reports obtained through charity navigator , a new jersey - based charity evaluation not - for - profit , and the irs listed a chicago street address for the korean war national museum . a voicemail at the chicago office also announced with “deepest regrets” the closing of the springfield museum . voicemail and email messages left at the springfield museum and the chicago office were not immediately returned .

the korean war was one of the ' hot wars ' of the cold war era . between 1950 and 1953 the korean peninsula was the focus of tensions , but thereafter american and russian rivalry was played out elsewhere . the conflict ultimately had little impact on the eventual collapse of the soviet union in 1990 .
at first the north koreans made rapid progress , quickly taking the south korean capital of seoul and driving south korean and american troops back to the southern port of pusan .
national service , a standardised form of peacetime conscription , was introduced in 1947 for all able - bodied men between the ages of 18 and 30 .
as the previous reviewer said this museum is now closed as of july 29 , 2017 . the lincoln museum attendee said it shut down but she never said why exactly . it was very disappointing as we wanted to see it . so doesn’t look like this museum . . .
the kansas city star reported that the collection of korean war memorabelia has been transferred to the harry s . truman presidential library and museum in independence , missouri . they will be closing temporarily in the near future to expand and will then be able to show . . .
rusnock said the organization planned to follow up on the museum shutdown as a precaution for donors .
korea remains a forgotten war in public memory . it is overshadowed by the second world war and overtaken by subsequent events of the cold war . but its significance is not lost on those who experienced it and those who live with its legacy today .
my grandpa was in the korean war , but no one in our family really knows much about it . this was really interesting and great to see the historical pieces related to this war being preserved and presented with a really nice narrative . we spent about . . .
what a great way to remember those who are constantly forgotten by our nation . both of my grandfathers fought in the korean war , and i never was given the opportunity to learn about this war in my schooling . thank you for remembering those who fought for us .
walking around springfield , we stumbled across this museum . the display is rather old - fashioned and may not hold the interest of little ones , but overall the exhibit was very informative . there were a few traditional korean items and war memorabilia on display . our little one thought . . .
robert mitchell , who lives in houston , served as a liaison to the springfield museum for the veterans association , but he said he had not recently been in touch with the museum . the former osco drugstore space on old capitol plaza , said mitchell , was considered temporary when the museum opened in 2009 .
independent - the organization is an independent organization or an independent auxiliary ( i . e . , not affiliated with a national , regional , or geographic grouping of organizations ) .
in 1950 , the cold war heated up with the outbreak of the korean war ( 1950 - 53 ) . this three - year bloody and brutal struggle left millions of north and south koreans dead , and over 100 , 000 casualties for the united nations forces involved . despite this , the conflict is a forgotten war today , but its legacy still has a huge global impact .
the museum doors remained locked wednesday , and it appeared major exhibits had been removed . the only notices of the closing were posted on a facebook page , since taken down , and on the doors of the museum .
the newspaper says the museum had seen a series of past starts and stops . it was at a different location when plans were announced in 2006 to construct a new museum . that effort stalled and the museum was set up at a former drugstore on old capitol plaza . _ _ _ information from : the state journal - register
this was a pleasant surprise - we went to visit springfield at the end of november ( plus had a 3 year old with us , arriving via amtrak ) , so we were limited on things to see and do . we walked to see the outside of the old state capitol and eat at the feed store . with a few hours to spare before our train back , we spotted the korean war national museum . it was within walking distance from our hotel which was an added bonus ! we are so glad we found it - thanks so much for a wonderful education of the forgotten war .
if this was allowed to go unchallenged , it would mean a third world war .
“that has always been a secondary site . the plan was always to build a new museum , ” said mitchell .

to date , the korean war has not officially ended , skirmishes still occur along the 155 - mile ( 248km ) border , which is the most heavily militarised frontier in the world . tensions remain high between north and south korea .
located on the same block as the lincoln law office , across the street from the old capitol building , and within an easy walk of all the lincoln sites , the museum has a wonderful location . the unique theme of the museum makes it especially interesting as . . .
the museum was very interesting . my dad fought in korea and this was like rekindling his stories . i could see what my dad described years ago . it isn ' t talked about much but it is an important piece of us history . and this museum is well . . .
charity navigator gave the museum a zero on a four - star rating system in june , said katelynn rusnock , advisory system manager for the company .
more than a half - century ago , thousands of americans fought a bitter war on the korean peninsula against a very determined enemy . known as “the forgotten war , ” the battle for korea was the first us combat action of the cold war . the korean war also marked resurgence for the marine corps which had been dramatically reduced in size during the years following world war ii . korea marked the first combat use by the marine corps of both helicopters and jet aircraft . on display is a grumman panther jet fighter which flew as part of the first marine jet combat mission in december 1950 and an early sikorsky helicopter . the gallery describes the “see - saw” nature of the war’s opening battles and the conflict’s gradual transformation into a static war of attrition , reminiscent of world war i trench warfare . other exhibits highlight the introduction of combined - arms teams , flak jackets ( body armor ) and expanded roles for women and minorities within the marine corps during this time period . visitors ride with marines to the sea wall at inchon as part of general macarthur’s strategic end run to attack the enemy’s rear . a pershing tank rumbles through the war - torn streets of seoul . on toktong pass near the chosin reservoir , visitors encounter marines who are cold , tired and dangerously short of ammunition . visitors feel the cold ; they hear the chinese soldiers advancing up the snowy mountain and watch the marines prepare for the next attack . it is a battle that must be won against overwhelming odds . lastly , a sobering look at a pow cage serves as a reminder of the high price of war .
stevens , who lives in kansas , said the association was never involved in the springfield museum , but that he had received calls about monetary and equipment donations .
the kenya emergency , or mau mau revolt , was one of the british army ' s bloodiest and most controversial post - war conflicts .
annie thompson said the museum failed to file a 2016 not - for - profit disclosure report as required by state law . the most recent report was for 2015 .
the korean war gallery contains aircraft and exhibits that tell the story of the u . s . air force ' s role and performance in that conflict . visitors can immerse themselves in a storyline that reflects the emergence of the modern air force as the service experienced significant changes in roles , tactics and technology during the war . the conflict ' s two most striking symbols of air power on both sides - - the f - 86a sabre and the mig - 15 - - are on display next to each other . mannequins used in exhibits depict both everyday moments in the lives of airmen as well as historical images , such as the famous photo featuring pilots headed to the flight line as they walk under the mig alley sign . korean war gallery video .

the malayan emergency ( 1948 - 60 ) was one of the few successful counter - insurgency operations undertaken by the western powers during the cold war .
in the unsettled aftermath of world war ii , much of europe and asia fell into the hands of totalitarian regimes in the thrall of international communism . americans celebrating the end of nazi and japanese aggression in 1945 soon realized that freedom was once again threatened . against the backdrop of nuclear - armed tension between the u . s . and the soviet union , the survival of the world depended on the ability of the united nations and the two superpowers to keep a local crisis such as korea from escalating to total war . the korean conflict , the first u . s . combat action of the cold war era , remained limited and undeclared .
north korea remains a communist country . its economy is focused on supporting one of the world’s largest standing armies . the north korean nuclear weapons programme has drawn criticism from the united nations .
springfield convention and visitors bureau executive director gina gemberling said the closing surprised her . the museum was included in local tourism promotions and also participated in bureau - sponsored events , said gemberling .
imjin river was the bloodiest engagement fought by the british army since the second world war and one of the most decisive defensive battles the army has ever undertaken .
a spokeswoman for the illinois attorney general’s office also said wednesday the office was looking into the abrupt weekend shutdown of the museum that opened in 2009 at 9 s . old capitol plaza in springfield .
armistice negotiations began at kaesong in july 1951 . but a deal could not be reached , partly due to disagreements over the issue of prisoner - of - war exchanges .
south korean and american forces undertook an amphibious landing at inchon , 150 miles ( 240 km ) behind enemy positions . the landing cut the north koreans’ communications and allowed the un forces to break out of the pusan bridgehead .
region : yongsan - gu seoul type : chinese food operated by korean husband and chinese wife , it offers traditional authentic chinese dumplings in a small place . its signature menu , dumpling , passed down to th . . .
fought in april 1951 in korea , this was the bloodiest engagement fought by the british army since the second world war . for three days the 29th british independent infantry brigade group thwarted massed chinese attacks .
in april 1951 the chinese counter - attacked , aiming to break through to the south korean capital again . they were held up by the un forces near kapyong ( 22 - 25 april ) and on the imjin river ( 22 - 25 april ) .
the $ 3 ' suggested donation ' is too cheap ! the museum is in a temporary facility and yet does an impressive job of explaining the conflict many americas seemed to have forgotten . i was impressed by the quality and clarity of the displays . granted , the uniforms , medals , canteens and other ' soft ' items were on the new side when it comes to modern wars but it was a tribute to the men who served and saw the importance of preserving this piece of history that they sent these items to a museum that will share their history for many years to come . there was a sense of the period in the displays . the fonts and feel of the display cases were ' 50ish . i will seriously consider returning to springfield to see this museum when the permanent facility is in place .
a un attack recaptured seoul . after the fourth conquest in a year , the city was left in ruins . the pre - war population of 1 . 5 million had been reduced to 200 , 000 people , the majority of whom were starving .
the fighting at the imjin marked the end of the mobile phase of the war . stalemate ensued alongside the strategic bombing of north korea and the implementation of a naval blockade on the country . in june the soviets indicated they were willing to seek a settlement through arbitration .
the marines’ frenzied deployment to korea had succeeded , but the process resembled the patchwork embarkations of the 19th century instead of the advance positioning the cold war demanded . korea reinforced an emerging navy - marine corps innovation - the continuous deployment of combat - ready marine expeditionary forces aboard amphibious ships .
at 4 . 00am on 25 june 1950 the north korean army launched an all - out offensive against the south . the united nations ( un ) security council called upon its members to support the republic of korea and american forces were quickly sent to the country . they were later joined by troops from many other nations , including britain .
at the end of the second world war ( 1939 - 45 ) , american and russian concerns over ‘spheres of influence’ led to the partition of korea . the country was split into the communist democratic people’s republic of korea ( north korea ) and the american - backed republic of korea ( south korea ) .
although the war fronts were now static , set - piece operations did occur from time to time , as both sides sought to control key areas of terrain and win a success that might improve their negotiating position . from july 1951 british forces formed part of the 1st commonwealth division under major - general james cassels .
president truman had dismissed chinese warnings that the advance of us troops towards its borders would result in war . but in november 1950 the chinese people’s liberation army intervened on a massive scale , halting the un advance . although the 27th brigade held them off from their positions on the river chongchen , the chinese broke through elsewhere .
in 2009 , the compass group , a virginia - based fundraising firm , sued the museum and library in federal court in springfield for failure to pay more than $ 1 . 4 million — or about $ 30 , 000 a month — for a fundraising campaign from september 2006 to august 2010 . the two sides settled for undisclosed terms in 2010 , according to local court records .
on 25 june 1950 , the north korean people´s army ( nkpa ) stormed across the 38th parallel , the border between communist north korea and america´s ally , the republic of korea . supported by powerful russian - built t - 34 tanks , they overpowered south korean units , seized the capital of seoul , and raced southward . president harry truman transferred u . s . army units stationed in japan to korea under united nations auspices . army garrison troops arriving in korea could not stem the onslaught . by the end of july , un control had shrunk to a toehold in the peninsula’s southeast corner , protecting the vital port of pusan . collapse of the pusan perimeter would lose the war . ltgen walton walker , commanding the eighth army , exhorted his troops to hold firm .
we must fight to the end — a retreat… would be one of the greatest butcheries in history !
un resistance stiffened along the naktong river , but more north korean units advanced to force the crossings . help was on the way : a newly formed marine air - ground brigade would reach pusan on 2 august to preserve the embattled perimeter . the marine brigade under bgen edward craig that arrived on 2 august swiftly went into action . the brigade´s carrier - borne aircraft flew against nkpa targets the next day . marine infantry engaged the enemy in broiling heat west of masan on the 7th , leading the first successful counteroffensive of the war . the newly arrived marine brigade provided a boon to the besieged eighth army , desperately holding the naktong river line against nkpa assaults . general walton walker employed the marines as his emergency
fire brigade ,
shuttling them around the perimeter to counterattack each massive breakthrough . in a costly month of hard marching and bitter fighting , the marines hurled back each enemy penetration .
here were professionals ,
reported an associated press correspondent .
faced with waning support at home and always concerned that the soviet union might intervene on behalf of its allies north korea and china , the truman administration ruled out further amphibious
end runs
like inchon as too risky and provocative . the remaining 31 months of the conflict became a wasteland known as
the other war ,
a dreary cycle of grinding combat , devoid of operational finesse or popular appeal . heavy fighting flared at places like kanmubong ridge ,
the hook ,
and outposts such as carson , reno , and vegas . most fighting raged at night under torrents of artillery fire , and involved platoons rather than regiments . the
other war
cost three times as many casualties as had the 1950 battles , and more than forty percent of marine losses in korea occurred after march 1952 .
the marines’ greatest battle occurred during one of the nation’s most bitter military defeats , when chinese forces crossed into north korea to rout the unsuspecting allies . general macarthur ignored reports of china entering the war and spurred his command across the 38th parallel , and into disaster . near a large reservoir , the 1st marine division found itself surrounded by a chinese field army 78 miles from the sea , and burdened with thousands of casualties at the onset of one of the coldest winters ever recorded along the manchurian border . the marines ignored the reservoir’s korean name
changjin
in favor of the japanese name
chosin ,
which became
frozen chosin .
no marines ever fought under worse conditions of weather and terrain . superbly supported by the 1st marine aircraft wing , the division fought an epic withdrawal to the sea , turning back the chinese and bringing out their own wounded and dead .
most of the museum revenue from 2010 to 2015 was from contributions and grants , according to annual reports required of tax - exempt not - for - profits by the internal revenue service . the only profitable year was 2011 , when the group reported earning $ 221 , 590 . losses in 2015 , the most recent year filed with the irs , totaled more than $ 73 , 000 , despite revenues of nearly $ 768 , 000 . major expenses included $ 204 , 516 for salaries and compensation for association executives , employees and board members ; $ 174 , 137 for a direct - mail campaign ; and $ 71 , 658 for professional fundraising services .

in 1949 both the soviet union and the united states withdrew their military forces from korea , but the mutual antagonism between the north and south only deepened .
general douglas macarthur managed to hold them off after the waegwan bridge over the naktong river was blown up on 3 august . un forces then began to resupply and fortify their position with a defensive perimeter .
the first british troops landed at pusan soon after . they were immediately sent into battle on the naktong , on the western part of the pusan defences . once reinforced , they and the un forces counter - attacked .
' why anybody in the world would want to fight over it [ korea ] , if it was mine i would have gave it away . ' trooper jarleth donellan , royal tank regiment , 1988
un forces , including 27th commonwealth brigade , rapidly advanced north and crossed the border into north korea , capturing the capital pyongyang . by late november they had moved up to within 40 miles ( 64 km ) of the chinese border .
in freezing conditions the un forces carried out a fighting retreat across north korea , abandoning pyongyang . eventually they established a defensive perimeter around the port of hungnam where over 100 , 000 soldiers and 90 , 000 civilians were evacuated by sea .
during the retreat , british forces acted as a rearguard until a defensive line was established on the river han . they had to fight in freezing weather , with heavy snow , icy winds and temperatures as low as - 40c .
after crossing the border the chinese and north koreans captured seoul in early january . the setback prompted general macarthur to consider using the atomic bomb against them . but the enemy offensive ran out of steam and the front line stabilised , largely thanks to the new field commander , us lieutenant - general matthew ridgway , who revived un morale .
as winter cleared , the un forces dug in close to the north - south border and advanced a few miles north in order to create a buffer in front of seoul .
the line at imjin was primarily defended by british 29th brigade . the enemy were numerically superior , but the brigade held its position for three days , before being forced to retreat .
' we were holding positions that the chinese were determined to take , and they didn’t care how many men they lost to get them . ' private sam mercer , veteran of the gloucestershire regiment , 1988
the 1st battalion , the gloucestershire regiment’s last stand at hill 235 on the imjin helped break the chinese advance , but resulted in heavy casualties . only the remains of ‘d’ company , under the command of major mike harvey , escaped to reach un lines . the rest of the battalion , including its commander lieutenant - colonel james carne , was captured .
the 1st battalion was later awarded the united states presidential unit citation for their gallantry .
letter sent to private sam mercer while a pow in north korea . he was captured at imjin .
the actions blunted the chinese offensive and allowed un forces to retreat to a stronger defensive position north of seoul where they eventually halted the enemy .
two years of static fighting followed , often in conditions of extreme cold and heat . commonwealth troops were deployed on a rotational basis , defending hill positions and carrying out patrols .
in october 1951 the 1st commonwealth division took part in operation commando , a limited offensive designed to disrupt the chinese potential for attack , dominate the routes across the 38th parallel and extend diplomatic pressure . the main area of activity was around a ridge overlooking the imjin river known as ‘the hook’ .
in november 1952 the black watch ( royal highland regiment ) repulsed a chinese attack there . in may 1953 it was again successfully defended , this time by the duke of wellington’s regiment ( west riding ) .
on 27 july 1953 an armistice was finally signed at panmunjon . but korea remained a divided nation . in 1954 the 1st commonwealth division was reduced to brigade strength before finally being withdrawn in 1957 .
north and south korea have followed very different paths since 1953 . south korea has become an important economic and industrial power in asia , embracing foreign culture and ideas . it is a successful capitalist country , with huge corporations exporting goods all over the world .
' north korea is the most dangerous and urgent threat to the peace and security of the asia - pacific . ' us vice president mike pence , 19 april 2017
korea was the first and only test for the united nations as a military entity . it was also the last time that the british army fought as part of a joint commonwealth force .
' the first night i got home i went out with my father to a pub… and a fella said to me ,
i ' ve not seen you for a while , where ' ve you been ?
i said ,
i ' ve been to korea .
and he said ,
oh really , did you have a nice time ?
' fusilier mike mogridge , royal fusiliers , 1988
in the early 1950s a revolt in favour of union with greece began in british - controlled cyprus . british troops remain on the island to this day as part of a united nations peacekeeping force .

the surprise us landing at inchon reflected general macarthur’s strategic vision and the creative flexibility of the 1st marine division . the massive , seaborne flank attack enabled the us eighth army to break the north koreans’ siege of the pusan perimeter and drive the enemy north against macarthur’s newly established
anvil
along the han river . at inchon , the 1st marine division faced its most daunting challenge , deploying so hurriedly it still lacked its third infantry regiment and ordered to execute an amphibious assault in a city the size of omaha under the worst tidal conditions the marines ever faced . yet macarthur’s prophesy proved correct . the marines overcame inchon’s notorious tidal surges , mudflats , and seawalls , and indeed
crushed
the port’s defenders . within two weeks the leathernecks had fought their way inland and raised the american flag in recaptured seoul .
our hands and feet were frozen numb . the wind - borne cold attacked with terrible fury . we shivered violently .
nearly 7200 americans became pows in korea , 221 of them marines . the communist captors , according to a postwar report ,
perfected a diabolic method of torture which combines degradation , deprivation , and mental harassment .
while many pows weakened and cooperated with their captors , the marines resorted to discipline , loyalty , and offbeat humor to endure the ordeal honorably . only 27 of them ( 12 % ) died in communist hands . almost 2700 americans of other services died as prisoners , a mortality rate approaching 39 % .
without usmc training i would never have lived ,
said captain charles harrison . all surviving marine pows returned home .
