H.Res. 912 is a congressional resolution recognizing the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, a major military engagement during the Korean War that took place from November 27 to December 13, 1950. The battle involved over 100,000 United Nations troops, primarily U.S. Marines and Army forces, who became encircled by approximately 150,000 Chinese and North Korean troops in freezing conditions that reached 25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The resolution honors the courage and sacrifice of American service members who fought under extreme hardship, including the famous tactical withdrawal led by Major General Oliver P. Smith and the 1st Marine Division, which held strategic positions to allow the evacuation of troops, civilians, and equipment from the port of Hungnam. The resolution encourages Americans to observe December 1, 2025, as "Chosin Few Day" and commemorates the nearly 18,000 American casualties and the 13 Medal of Honor recipients from this battle, which ranks as the second most decorated battle in U.S. history.
