Membership:   

 

 

 If you served in any allied service in, above or around the Chosin (Changjin) Reservoir in North Korea November – December 1950 you belong to a very exclusive fraternity of honor. We invite your company in "The Chosin Few" which is dedicated to reuniting the survivors of that campaign for life into one body for sharing. Also providing companionship and everlasting remembrance of those 297,389 who did not survive that frozen long-ago.
Founded April 22, 1983, and formally recognized as a Non-Profit association by the Internal Revenue Service. " The Chosin Few" has membership from all U. S. services plus South Korean, British Marine Commandos, Royal Australian Air Force, Ireland, Poland, Scotland and South Africa. The name stems from the fact that so few were engaged at Chosin and survived. The real Chosin (Chosen ) Few are those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
The annual membership fee is US $35.00 for all Chosin veterans and it shall be the duty of the
Board of Directors to determine that which units meet the requirements for Membership.
Applicants are requested to submit their name, address, branch of service at time of
