Where are the colors of the 4th Marines?


 





And is it true that the regiment
is not allowed to bring them back to the United States? A smart retired colonel
wants to know.


 



It reminds me that the other day a historian was telling me
about being in a museum in Beijing and seeing the colors of the Army's 31st
Infantry Regiment, lost in fighting on the east side of Chosin Reservoir late
in 1950.
