Janet,

>>However, the men who fought there made history as well. And they did it by fighting at what was then being called the Chosin. Calling the veterans' organization after the reservoir as it was then identified is, in this instance, historically accurate and not in the least disrespectful. Changing the name of the veteran's organization to Changjin would, in fact, be an attempt to rewrite history *and* it would in many ways deny those men their place in history. <<

Well said.

Ed
