This is a photo of Corporal Joe Kalla, serving at the time with 1st Tank Battalion, First Marine Division at the Chosin Reservoir during the breakout in December, 1951. The Marines who fought there are still spoken of with reverence by Marines who serve today. Joe Kalla and Jean White were two of the Marines who spoke to our Post in August 2021 describing their experiences fighting in temperatures that reached 30 degrees below zero.
