Battle of Chosin Reservoir and The Hungnam Evacuation ~ Ned Forney

Tyler chats with Ned Forney, an author living in Seoul, South Korea who is writing a book about the Battle of Chosin Reservoir and The Hungnam Evacuation , the largest US military amphibious evacuation of civilians, under combat conditions, in American history. The all-but-forgotten 1950 US/UN humanitarian operation saved 100,000 North Korean refugees during the winter of 1950. An estimated one million descendants of the unprecedented evacuation now live in freedom in South Korea, the United States, and around the world. The current president of the Republic of Korea, Moon Jae-in, is one of them. Ned is a Marine veteran, career educator, and grandson of the late Colonel Edward H. Forney, USMC, the evacuation control officer at Hungnam in December 1950. Support the Show.
