Explore the history and legacy of the Korean War during a year-long lecture series that continues at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, at our Main Branch.
Dr. John Foster will discuss the epic battle around the Chosin Reservoir. Heavily outnumbered, US forces fought in temperatures that reached 30 degrees below zero. Through their stubborn resistance, the First Marine Division wrote another impressive chapter in the history of the Marine Corps.
