SUMMARY: East Tennessee Marine Bruce Far, a teenager during the Korean War’s battle at Chosin Reservoir in 1950, recalls surviving extreme temperatures of -50°F in what is known as the “Frozen Chosen.” Outnumbered at least 10 to 1, Far’s determination and faith helped him endure the fierce combat. He vividly remembers losing close friends in the battle and the emotional toll of witnessing the wounded being carried away. Despite suffering a severe injury from friendly fire weeks later, Far reflects on the importance of freedom and the sacrifices made for it, emphasizing how the fight for survival shaped his perspective on life.
