Journal week 3

I am Zullo. The weather out here is getting reallly bad. the temperatures are very low and its very cold. We fired on the chinese. I saw many people die and wounded. I dont know how much longer were going to be able to last out here or if im going to even make it out of here alive. I just hope all this ends soon so we can go actually go home to our families.

journal week 3

i am first sergeant Zullo. george company is now advancing closer to the chinese border, as we get closer the weather at the chosin revoir gets worse. many of the men have trouble sleeping at night and the temperatures are as low as -30 degrees. If that wasnt enough our advancement closer to the chinese border sparked the very powerful China army, this is breaking the moral of the soldiers and against an even more resiliant enemy than that of the koreans......i dont know if we will make it out of this fight alive.

Journal Writer Week 3

Hi my names Bob Harbula. I am an ammo bearer but right now i am in the machine gun squad in George Company. We have taken fire like crazy in the Chosin Reservoir. But i would like to call it "Death Valley." Before we headed towards the Reservoir we met a British squad called DrysDale. We soon arrived at the Reservoir and we were taking heavy fire we eventually escaped but most of Drydales forces were left behind to save themselves. Then we had to take Hagaru. This was a devestating time for me. I lost my bestfriend that was so dear to me his name was Joe Rice. He died when we were on East Hill. As soon as i lost him i flipped and opened fire on all the chinese which gave our postion away. Eventually i ceased fire and went on in life.

Qoute Keeper Week 3

1.) '' Was this the dog that had not yet barked?''
I believe this qoute means that General Smith wondered if the chinese were trying to lure him and his troops over the bridge to ambush them. Pg. 103

2.) '' All hands. Make sure every shot counts''
I believe this qoute means that because they were out numbered by alot they should try to shoot the chinese in one shot to conserve ammunition. Pg. 113

3.) '' He was a brave man, all over the place looking for ammo''
I believe this qoute means that Zullo was demanding for ammo so he could keep shooting at the chinese to defend him and his troops. Pg. 128

Text to Text: One of the books I read was about the Iraq war and the hardships of it. And it describes what was going on just like in the book Give me Tomorrow.

Connector Week 2

Text to world- In this book, "Give me Tomorrow", George company talks aboout how they hated to eat their C- Rations and how bad tasting they were. This reminds me of when i used to be in boyscouts and we would get these little packets with someone food supplies we would need to go out into the woods for acouple days.

Text to Self- During the war a company was sent over to Korea to help George company, when they got bored on the ship they played a card game called hearts throughout the whole ride. One of the officers said "he will never play a game of hearts again", this reminds me when people play games so much that they aventually get so bored of playing it they will never play the game again.

Text to Text- When one of the Colonels was offered a promotion during the war to a better part of the company, he states that he really does not want to leave his company on the field because they are part of his family. This reminds me of the movie "Band of Brothers'', during the movie a man that was leading a company got offered a promotion and took it but was very sad because he became so close to his company they were like family.

Good Ol Quotes week 2

"I want to go over, i want to fight"

Quote Keeper Week 2

pg61. "Some one through out the grenades as far as they could. We used the smoke to cover the withdrawal." This explains some of the hard ships in war. Where they have to figure things out if they are low on supplies. They were very low on smoke mortars and came up with this idea because they had more gernades than mortars.

Pg82. "It was really good food; everyone had a pork chop in their mess kit. The next day we were forced to move out, and the rest of the meat was salted down, put in to barrels, and given to the tankers." This shows how quick things happen. One minute your relaxing and eating a great meal with your friends. the next you got to move out and fight once more. Many soldier look forward to these rare occations. One day just having fun and not thinking about dying.

pg71. " We didnt know who they really were. We just saw some guys in uniforms with armbands who claimed that they were security forces." Always being scared. Not knowing who to trust. having people saw that they're someone but they are not can be scary. It could be the chinese trying to kill them. No one really knows. Thats the scariest part, because you just dont want to die. No one does.

Connector Week One

1. In the book it talks about how they had to climb up a mountain and then they got ambushed, well that kindof reminds me of when i was little and we used to play king of the hill and you would make it to the top and then someone would ambush you from the rear end.

2. Another part talks about this battle going on where its all tanks and that reminds me of when i was at the VFW and there was that big tank there and i climbed on it one time.

3. And in one chapter it talks about how this Korean man was running with his daughter all bloody and what not and that reminded me of the time when i cracked my head open and my dad picked me up and ran me to the truck and took me to the hospital.

Journal Writer Week One

Hi my name is Zullo. I am building a military company called George Company. This company has at least at least 20 to 30 different squads. When i went to Korea the air and the smell of dead bodies was everywhere. I saw two of my soilders Coporal Albert Barnes and PFC Ralph Murphy die from a sniper in Inchon . Then we advanced on the road. I was nervous of all the jungle around because the enemy could be anywhere. Then we started taking fire from a small house. I was next to it and i told a private to throw a grenade in there but it landed right next to me. So i kicked it like a soccer ball into the house and then we had won that little battle. The private ran up to me and apologized and i was scared bc he had grenades near him and i was like "He's trying to kill me".
