On September 15, 1950, during the Korean War (1950-53), U.S. Marines force made a surprise amphibious landing at the strategic port of Inchon, on the west coast of Korea, about 100 miles south of the 38th parallel and 25 miles from Seoul. The location had been criticized as too risky, but United Nations (U.N.) Supreme Commander Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) insisted on carrying out the bold landing. Afterward, the American-led U.N. force was able to break North Korean supply lines and push inland to recapture Seoul, the South Korean capital that had fallen to the Communists in June.The landing at Inchon changed the course of the war; however, the conflict later settled into a long, bloody stalemate that did not end until a July 1953 armistice.

The Inch'on Landing, staged in September 1950, enabled American‑led U.N. forces to break North Korean supply lines and recapture Seoul early in the Korean War.

The Lads of Swampoodle (gumroad.com)

https://irishamericanfilms.gumroad.com/l/nzsixk

"The Lads from Swampoodle" is the story of a group of friends, primarily Irish and Italian Catholics that grew up in The Swampoodle section of Philadelphia in the 1950's and 1960's then served in Vietnam and remained lifelong friends and a support group for each other after The War and over the course of the rest of their lives. The story explores the history of Swampoodle, the milieu they grew up in, their relationships with each other, their community and church, the impact of de-industrialization on their community, family and friends, the trauma of war and long-term collateral damage of war. The film also explores the residents of Swampoodle and Catholic Philadelphia’s long rich history of military service and commitment dating back to The Revolutionary War.

Our Producer Jimmy Kirlin will be a speaker this Thursday May 23rd at The Edison 64 Memorial Services at Edison High School. Edison High School had more students killed during The Vietnam War than any other High School in the country. Edison High School's sacrifice means a great deal to our production team and Vietnam Veterans throughout our great country. Please keep The Edison 64 in your thoughts and prayers over this Memorial Day weekend.

You can watch our "Edison 64 Documentary" and "Remember The 27 Crusaders" (Father Judge 27) online at:

Edison 64 Synopsis:

Edison 64 explores the impact of De-industrialization on North Philadelphia, race relations and civil unrest in Philadelphia in the 1960’s, gangs and early obstacles that many of the students endured throughout their youth; their time spent at Thomas Edison High School; their military service and subsequent deaths; the aftermath of their deaths on their families, communities, friends, and service members that they served with in Vietnam; long-term collateral damage to the aforementioned groups; and their enduring legacy and why monuments and memorials to slain service members are so important.

"Remembering The 27 Crusaders" is a feature length documentary film recounting the lives, military service and deaths of 27 American service members who served in Vietnam that graduated from Father Judge High School in The North East section of Philadelphia during The Vietnam War. Father Judge High School suffered more fatalities in Vietnam than any other Catholic High School in America that still exists. The film explores the lives and deaths of The Father Judge students who perished during the war, the communities/parishes where they grew up, the prevalent sense of duty, honor and patriotism in these communities, their time spent and values instilled at Father Judge, their service in Vietnam, the devastating impact of their deaths on their families and communities and the difficult process of mourning, healing and acknowledgement of their heroism.
The films narrative is driven by interviews with family, friends, classmates, father judge staff, brothers in arms and military.
