VO: "It was only four short weeks later, without warning or provocation, that the Communists poured across the 38th Parallel. The sudden shock of attacks stunned the people of South Korea. Bewildered families lost their homes. This country, unprepared for war, with only a small ill-equipped army & a handful of American military observers, the Red Horde met little opposition."
