    I was recently visiting with a Korean veteran, discussing my M38A1, and his stories of how cold it got in Korea were central to his noncombat experience there – it sounds pretty brutal, and this photograph bears that out.

    Wow! That is a picture from Chosin reservoir. Brutal battle in US Marine history. You can see it in his eyes!

    Any other info about the photo or his service that you can or are willing to share? I love uncovering history like that. Makes a photo more than just a photo of something.
