TODAY IN HISTORY
Lest we forget
Feb. 13, 1951 – During the Battle of Chip’yong-ni in the Korean War, 1st Sgt. Charley Limerick of the 23rd Regimental Combat Team was captured while fighting Chinese Communist Forces. Limerick was tied up and held for several days, but escaped by slipping his shackles and sneaking past sleeping guards. Wearing only fatigues in the freezing Korean winter, and shoeless, he walked for miles through ice and snow – leaving a trail of bloody footprints behind him. He didn’t know where he was, or where friendly troops were, so he walked toward the sound of gunfire. Finally, in a forested area, he found a U.S. unit. “The next thing I know, I was laying in a hospital,” Limerick told Soldiers of the 95th Adjutant General Battalion when they helped him celebrate his 96th birthday in 2009 (Lawton Constitution).
NOTE: Limerick, winner of the Silver Star and Distinguished Service Cross, died Apr. 14, 2011.
