Re: Kunsan and Inchon landings, Sept 12 & 15, 1950



The Inchon Landing secured the future of the Marine Corps, which had been
considered no longer viable and facing disbanding and integration into the
other branches. As a consequence of the landing and the battle at Chosin
Reservoir, a public law was passed by both houses, declaring that this Nation
would always maintain a Marine Corps of three divisions and attached Air Wings.
