FROM THE ANNALS OF MARINE CCRRS BATTLES
the date 25 June 1950:
The Communist North Korean Armyinvaded
South Korea. Marine combat groups and
fighter-bombers clashed with this enemy
in little more than a month after the
invasion, beginning the fierce Korean
conflict in which some of the hardest
fought of Marine Battles were held and
where many Marines upheld and surpassed
the valor and traditions of the world!s
best fighting outfit.
