So many lives were lost during the Korean War, including 30,000 American service members. Those that survived still carry the memories of this tumultuous time in their lives wherever they go, something that is true for both Marines Sgt. Lee Brouillette and Harry Hope. These two brave veterans fought together in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, a 14-day event that cost thousands their lives.
Now, 70 years later, Lee and Harry are two of the three remaining marines left in their platoon who made it home. In the many decades that have since passed, they didn’t see each other once… until now.
As soon as the two were reunited, they embraced, both of them crying. Despite how long it had been since they last spoke, Lee and Harry seemingly picked up right where they left off.
“We went around the world,” Lee said of their time together in the war. “And I mean around the world.”
Watch Lee and Harry’s heartwarming reunion in the video below.
