I really love watching these interviews and I really appreciate the uploads!!! Sometimes I can barely hear though. Not complaining just saying some of us are half deaf 😁
Very unfortunate Korean War veterans lack recognition even to this day. It truly is the forgotten war. I will never forget the sacrifices of those who went before me.
That's why sharing these stories is CRITICAL. Let's get them while we still can! Hopefully sooner than later they WILL get the recognition they so rightfully deserve.
My grandfather served in the Army in Korea. He was from a town not far from Cecil in Iowa. I will never forget the stories he would tell including leaving out of Seattle and watching the shore get farther and farther away, not knowing if he would ever see it again. He passed away last year and watching these reminds me of the stories he would tell.
My Father was a POW for 2 and half years in North Korea. He was transferred numerous times to various POW CAMPS finally ending up at the most northern POW camp in North Korea. upon his release he spent many months in Walter Reed hospital recovering from his injuries from being beaten,tortured,and starved by the North Koreans. Dad died 4 January 2009. That's the day his nightmares stopped when our Lord and Savior wrapped his Loving Arms around my dad.
God Bless All The Brave Americans That We're Called Upon To Protect The Fatherland So You And I Can Live Free God Bless The United States Military And Her Allies 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
My uncle was Mr Phipps age when he was also a POW in the Korean War. My uncle told my father that they made them march barefoot in the snow. Thank you, Sir, for sharing as I wasn't able to ask him about it as he suffered from PTS ❤️
Our Dad was a WW2 and a Korean war veteran. Bomber pilot. RIP, Dad. 💙 There is not a whole lot of world war II veterans alive and the ones that are are quite old. Our dad would be 100 years old this year if he was alive.
Many thanks to American Veterans Center for interviewing Mr. Phipps. I am so humbled and grateful to know him and so grateful that he is giving voice to the horrific experiences that American POWs went through in the prisoner of war camps in North Korea,. I thank Mr. Phipps for giving voice to the thousands who perished in the North Korean communist POW camps due to massive starvation and lack of medical care. It is so important that we do not forget those who are still Missing in Action since their remains are still being held by the North Korean communists. Over 7,500 Americans are still missing in action (MIA) and over 5,300 Americans are MIA in North Korea. As a Korean, whose family was saved by these heroes who laid down their lives in the Korean War, we owe a debt that can never be paid to these heroes who sacrificed immeasurably for our freedoms. South Korea was saved from the grips of communism, thanks to so many who gave their lives to save South Korea. May God always bless our Korean War veterans, Korean War fallen heroes and their families, We Koreans should never forget the tremendous sacrifice of American lives given for our freedoms. May God always bless America.
(Spent 30 days in jail for vandalism and raising cain) Marines: "sorry but we can't take troublemakers" Army: "You're exactly what we're looking for, come on in!"
Thank you so very much for your service! Your bravery is unquestioned.And your love for your country was well reflected in your actions! God bless you, sir!
It is amazing he escaped being captured. Several hundred known living US POW's and MIA's were simply written off at the end of the war. Some were seen and reported as being shipped on trains Northward into Soviet Russia, and were never seen or heard from again.
Many thanks to this man for sharing his story. It brings tears to your eyes. My grandfather, a marine, spent time in China at the end of WW2, but before the Korean War. I have not been able to find much information on US soldiers in China during that time period, but he spoke of dealing with Russians at some point during his time there. He never talked about the details of his time there until he developed dementia. It was all very horrible, and I respect and appreciate so much what all these men sacrificed. It's so important to share their stories.
E.B. Sledge wrote a 167 page book with the title 'China Marine' It is published by OXFORD University Press. E..B Sledge who was a marine was sent to China when WW2 was over. He spent over a year in China. The book is about his experience and life as a soldier in China. He also wrote the famous book With The Old Breed.
The Korean War was a brutal place to be. I hope the veterans get the same veneration they deserve and more publicity is shown on the war like WW2 and Vietnam. A lot of guys were not really trained to fight at first because they were occupation troops in Japan and the idea was that nuclear weapons had ended conventional land warfare. My dad told me how the baracks had grass growing up through the floor and that they were trained mostly by corporals. He was in the motor pool do avoided being in combat but he could hear it and witness artillery. Bugging out was always a threat too.
@@fightingtosurvive6527 I just changed it! Sorry for my mistake. The only excuse I have, is because in Spanish it's with "C". That's why I mixed it up.
Cecil you are a very brave man, I’m sorry you had to go through all that, I can’t imagine what I would have done in your circumstances. Glad you made it home, thank you for your service.
Although I don't like the Chinese Communist Party, I have to say that the Chinese Communist Party is much more civilized than the Japanese and Nazi Germany, and Taiwan's Kuomintang.
My Grandpa Ed, was in a German POW camp for three years. The man was a solid influence on me n life. This man is a example of American grit or what's left of it
Hello Sir, my father's older brother Dave served our Country with you in Korea. He saw action and was in it. Thank you for your story. I am sorry you were in a POW camp for so long. Thank you so much for serving your Country ! I am proud of you all !!
Thank you Cecil for all you sacrificed on our behalf, you will ALWAYS be a hero in my book. Anyone who says a man captured in war isn't a hero is a moral coward.
I like history and I think this might be the first person Korean War POW telling I have ever heard. After WWII I wonder how many Americans actually allowed themselves to be captured? I'm glad to have heard it for sure! I was a Marine in the 80's and knowing what I knew of history I would have fought to the death surrounded or not, I guess that's why we were known as Devil Dogs back during WWI. If these people weren't brutal to begin with, they wouldn't be doing what they are doing. He must have had an angel looking out for him to have survived the way he did. The chance of death from surrendering was high I don't think I could have taken it. I would like to shake his hand but, I couldn't have done it. The paradoxes of life can really get strange can't they. It all depends on your outlook when you are seeing them happen for yourself and where you are at that point in your life.
Incredible. ''I'm proud I did nothing to discredit my country.'' Well I'd have to say you sure didn't MR. Phipps. And he tells the story very honorably as well. The Korean ''police action'' was some unique and hard fighting in the records of our armed forces. The human wave charges and the weather just a couple of things that stand out. Very worthwhile viewing thank you
Thank you all for getting these stories out there. My uncle was a Tiger survivor from the Korean war. Called that because the North Korean in charge of them was ferocious and nicknamed Tiger. Camp conditions were akin to gulags or concentration camps. Abuse, starvation and disease. He said when the Chinese took control of the camp things got better but they added brainwashing stuff. Unfortunatley I never hear many people discuss this war. But it and its impacts were real. My uncle survived a death march followed by 3 years in camp came home and slowly drank himself to an early grave because of it all.
Although I don't like the Chinese Communist Party, I have to say that the Chinese Communist Party is much more civilized than the Japanese and Nazi Germany, and Taiwan's Kuomintang.
Thank you! You and everyone who got captured have my utmost respect. You truly went to hell and back. I was stationed at Camp Stanley and I remember that the winter's there were brutal. I'm sure it took something out of you.
I had a late friend, who was a very young Marine and was a POW. The Chinese broke a toe a day, with Vicegrips, trying to get information from him, of which he knew nothing. He was swapped in a prisoner exchange and was told to crawl the quarter mile to the US lines or be shot. He crawled.
I’m from iowa wanting to join the army soon it’s awesome to know a hero Iike this has come from the same place as me given me more motivation can’t wait to enlist
"I am proud to have served my country, and I am proud that while I was in custody, I didn't do anything to discredit my country." Well said, my fellow veteran, well said. You are a man of honor, I salute you.
@@hawkeyeten2450 I really wanna gov he close the records they got the government and see where all they got him documented being at camps and the battles he was in i know they got records of it they got to have
I am truly sorry you had to endure such unbearable hardships. I am sorry that so many had to suffer and die. Thanks for fighting for my native country .
In a time where my faith in Mankind is wained, faith in our current government is also, The words of our Veterans about their hardships and grit, I do find the strength to carry on and I discovered hope again. Salute to you Sir and to all our Veterans.
I remember when I worked at Walmart a few years a Korean war vet came in and was sitting on the bench next to me and without me asking he just started talking about the war which made me excited because I always want to talk to ww2/Korean/Vietnam vets but I'm always to shy to ask them. Unfortunately I got yelled at to get back to work because I was way past my break time God bless our veterans.
Thank you for the great story. I am Chinese myself, both of my grandfathers served on the other side of this war, one was a mechanic, the other was an officer directing propaganda efforts, although he still got wounded in an air raid (He just passed away 2 years prior at the age of 99). Earlier in the war, many of the Chinese soldiers and officers who got sent to Korean frontline were ex-KMT defectors, or previously served as auxiliary troops under the Japanese, North Korean army also used extensive ex-Japanese auxiliary troops, so they were all experienced and quite brutal. So sorry about the summary executions and the terrible POW treatment. For the millet porridge provided though, Chinese soldiers weren't doing any better, there was a saying in China that the army was all about "millet and rifle", that's what everyone ate. Most of those guys later had it pretty bad during the Cultural Revolution (not for this particular reason but karma I guess).

你怎麼不談談我們志願軍被俘虜的人是怎麼被殘酷對待的？karma 你大爺，還badtreatment，活了33個月就被槍托砸了幾下算個屁。我們志願軍很多時候吃的都沒有，各種藥品都供給俘虜傷員，為此很多志願軍還抱怨，你道歉，你算什麼東西？新中國本來不想大規模出兵，結果還一直打到邊境，不停轟炸，這樣搞幾十年，我們還發不發展了？想過為什麼烏克蘭加入北約，把核武器放門口，俄羅斯要去打呢？當然俄羅斯侵略是不正當的，但是站在他們角度又是可以理解的。總之，別人沒道歉，你直接跪了，讓人覺得惡心。
