Nov. 11, 1950, is indelibly etched in Bobby McCoun's memory. It's the day when he, a teenage Army infantryman from Anderson County, landed in war-torn North Korea.
"We had been in Japan training ROK (Republic of Korea) soldiers," McCoun said in a recent interview. "We landed on Nov. 11 and went inland to relieve a Marine battalion."
Once in country, McCoun was soon taking enemy fire.
