Lt. Chew-Een Lee, a first-generation U.S. citizen, was a Korean War hero who helped save 8,000 marines from capture during the Korean War, but he’ll be remembered for far more than his bravery. He battled communism, injury, hypothermia, racism and, at one point, the Chinese Red Army – singlehandedly. Indeed the “Forgotten War” brought the U.S. one unforgettable hero.
