Frozen Faith (Heroes Of War Book 2)

Book 2 of the Heroes Of War Series

Another exciting adventure in the life of a U.S. Soldier in a time of war and extreme circumstances!

Regimental Combat Team 31, comprised of roughly three thousand men, was an actual military unit in the 7th Infantry Division. The 1st Battalion of the 32nd Infantry Regiment was a part of RCT-31, comprised of 1,053 U.S. soldiers and an additional 300 or so Republic of Korea Army Infantrymen. The story that follows the article on the next page is a fictionalized account of a real event. It is a tribute to the brave and gallant men of that action who gave their lives delaying the Chinese 9th Group of the People's Liberation Army, a unit comprised of some 67,000 combat veterans. At the end of the withdrawal to Hagaru-ri, the 1st of the 32nd numbered 181 souls, including a number of the ROK soldiers.

In all fairness, the Chinese Army was no better prepared for combat in the harsh winter storm that had blown in from Siberia than the U.S. troops were. The names of the officers have not been changed, in order to give a sense of place to the battle. The only enlisted man whose name appears correctly is Corporal Robert Lee Armentrout, who was awarded the Silver Star for his actions on the night of 27 November, 1950. The fight continued from November 26 to December 4, 1950 in extreme temperatures ranging down to 35 degrees below zero.
