U.S. Army 2nd Lt. William H. Funchess (on radio) and Sgt. O.J. Mixon, both in the 19th Infantry Regiment, maintain cover in a bunker on the bank of the Kum River north of Taejon, South Korea, July, 1950. "That was my first engagement. There were 13 Russian T-34 tanks across the river firing point-blank into us." Funchess was captured on Nov. 4, 1950 after a fierce fight with an overwhelming Chinese force. He endured 34 months as a prisoner of war before finally being released on Sept. 6, 1953. (Photo courtesy of William Funchess)
