In November 1950, United Nations forces in Korea were stopped in their advance toward the Yalu River by Chinese Communist forces and were in danger of being overrun. Vastly outnumbered by the enemy, the First Marine Division was cut off from its base at Wonson. There were seventy miles to safety, and the worst was feared. General Oliver Prince Smith, commander of the First Marine Division, is credited with bringing the division and attached army units to safety, leaving no wounded behind and, in the process, destroying the effectiveness of several Chinese units. His brilliant performance during this military crisis was the crowning achievement of a lifetime dedicated to the service of his country.
