Excerpt from The Yearbook: "December 1, 1950. The dried and frosty wind slithered over the rough and rugged hilly grounds. The temperature read 30 degrees below zero, with a 50 mph wind gust. To the Soldiers and Marines, the real-feel temperature felt colder than a witch. Siberian winter airstream hovered unforgivingly above the Changjin Reservoir. The Americans called it Chosin, a name they adapted from an old Japanese map of the area. It is a man-made lake located in the northeast of the Korean peninsula. This day, as the days before and the days to come, thousands of men would die."
