The battle for “Heartbreak Ridge” started on 13 September with the 9th Infantry launching an attack on Hill 728, west of the main objective, and giving fire support to the First and Second Battalions of the 23rd who jumped off onto Hill 931, central peak of three heights on the ridge line. [1]

This battle marked a continuation of the Battle of Bloody Ridge, as U.N. and communist forces jockeyed for position along a line running roughly east-west across the middle of the Korean peninsula after the war became stalemated in the summer of 1951. [3]
A hard-nosed, hard-living Marine gunnery sergeant clashes with his superiors and his ex-wife as he takes command of a spoiled recon platoon with a bad attitude. [6]
It is called Christmas, Christmas Holidays, the Christmas Season, Christmas! [3]
“B” Company of the 72d Tank Battalion was able to support the 9th from positions on the MSR to the west and their high-velocity tank fire proved effective in knocking out the enemy bunkers exposed to the direct fire of the tank guns. [1]
