On September 15th we drove to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside for the memorial dedication to the men that served & died in the Korean War, at the Chosin Reservoir. They dedicated a monument that will serve as a reminder to all other soldiers to follow, in honor of what these brave men went through.

I am truly honored to call Delbert Ray Houlette my Grandpa. He went through so much in the Korean War. They made a documentary about the Chosin Reservoir. They are also going to be coming out with the 1st ever Hollywood movie about the Chosin Few, it will be in 3-D and cost 100 million dollars to make. The stories will all be 100% true and believe me Hollywood couldn't even come up with the things that these men had to endure.
