On the 70th Anniversary of the Inchon Invasion of Korea, Two USMMA Grads and Merchant Marine Officers from the SS Meredith Victory Speak
We are pleased to feature this special video presentation on the 70th anniversary of the Inchon Invasion of Korea, as two USMMA grads and officers aboard the SS Meredith Victory speak about the battle, the typhoon that preceded it, and the ship’s Skipper, Captain Leonard Larue who later led the largest humanitarian rescue by a single ship in human history, saving 14,000 North Korean refugees fleeing the Chinese. Captain Larue eventually became a Benedictine Monk, Brother Marinus, and the Catholic Church has started the process of seeking beatification for Brother Marinus in honor of his extraordinary humanitarian acts during the Korean War..
