veterans like him went thru and watch for the movie next June. By
training to follow orders many were able to come home, but thousands did
not.
Fellow veterans of the KWVA,
November is an important month for veterans everywhere. This month, we
honored all those who have served our country by celebrating Veterans
Day. This November also marks the 59th anniversary of China's
involvement in the Korean War and one of the conflict's most pivotal
battles--the Chosin Reservoir Campaign. Because of these events, we feel
it is fitting that we reach out to you about our current project.
Anton Sattler and I are combat decorated Marines who served two tours in
Iraq as infantry platoon commanders. Now reservists, we have just
finished filming our documentary, tilted Chosin, which is about the
Chosin Reservoir Campaign of the Korean War. We have made great strides
already, interviewing 184 veterans from all branches of service in 27
cities across 14 states, and we are on track to finish the film and
release it for the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War next June.
Watch us and Chosin veteran Joe Owen on CBS Evening News on the weekend
of 27 November for the anniversary of the campaign.

As combat veterans, Anton and I forged a unique connection with the
Chosin Veterans and consider it an honor to give them a gift 60 years in
the waiting: the chance to share their story and finally be remembered.
Our hope is that our film will raise public awareness about the Korean
War in general and contribute to honoring the sacrifices of all who
served in Korea during this important upcoming anniversary.
In order to make the largest impact possible, we need assistance in
spreading the word about our project. Please help us by passing on the
link to our website to everyone you can, and ask them to do the same. As
combat veterans ourselves, Anton and I understand the importance of
making the promise to "never forget." We hope that in some small way,
our project can remind others to keep that promise.
