my grandpa chewed his foot off to escape a prison camp in korea

my grandpa was a POW in Korea. They tortured him for 6 days, beat him half to death, stripped him naked, shot him in the leg, stabbed him in both sides of his ribcage and left him for dead in 4 ft of snow.

He crawled a little over 2 miles and was found by an American patrol who brought him back to his camp. He had scratched the grid coordinates into his forearm with a stick and his unit was able to find where he was held, attack and kill 60 Koreans and free 13 Marines that were held there.

He was awarded 3 separate medals for his actions and a chapter in his Captain's book is written about him.

He was 17 at the time lol he had lied about his age and joined at 16.

Fucking hardass to this day. I have newspaper clippings of him fighting as a Golden Glove in the Marines. 44-0-1 with 42 knockouts.

No way I can live up to that
