	Re: Hungnam Evacuation
		Several accounts say walking to Hungnam from Hamhung was a risky journey for the thousands who tried, as the route passed through minefields as well as UN checkpoints manned by nervous soldiers on the alert for North Korean and Chinese infiltrators.
		We do know that those in charge of the evacuation based their plans in part on X Corps' experiences evacuating refugees farther south just days earlier, from Wonsan, where a few thousand were expected but many times that number thronged the port.
		So, at Hungnam, planners allowed ahead of time for the likelihood of fleeing civilians; bumping their estimates up from Wonsan, they expected as many as 25,000.

	Flying Yangban: Remembering the Hungnam mass rescue
		Chung, then 30, and her three-year-old son were among the 98,000 North Korean refugees transported by U.S. ships from the North's northeastern port of Hungnam to South Korea in December 1950.
		My only quibble with the article is in its description of the "Hungnam pullout" as one of "the epic military undertakings of the war" that "helped Allied forces regroup for a counter-offensive" in the Spring of 1951.
		The Hungnam evacuation was certainly an humaitarian feat of epic proportions, particularly in the midst of battle, but the real military feat was the retreat from the Changjin Reservoir by the Marines and what was left of the 7th Cav.

		BUTCH WAS everywhere, carrying water, ammunition and a smile-he was one of the boys, and a younger brother to look after. And Butch, an orphan, had found a home. It was a dream come true. But dreams have a way of ending.
		He hopped a train near Iwon and rode for over 100 miles through guerrilla country-still in uniform. At Hungnam, he got off where familiar heavy, green Marine Corps trucks lumbered through the streets.
		EVERY AMERICAN he saw wore the globe and anchor insignia. Butch was home. Today he's back with the bandsmen-or he was when this was written. At night, when the leathernecks huddle in a foxhole next to a machinegun watching for the Chinese enemy to move, Butch may be there, laughing quietly and whispering jokes.
