He was 20 years old in late 1950 when Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of the United Nations' forces in South Korea, launched the "Home by Christmas" offensive. The goal was to evict Chinese forces from the country and end the Korean War.
The Chinese had other ideas, launching a counteroffensive that left the entire 8th Army — including Rangel's beloved 2nd Infantry Division — encircled at Kunu-ri, located near the Chongchon River by the Chinese border.
