U.S. 7th Infantry Division troops advance towards the Yalu River as supporting planes strafe the snow-covered hills around them. They dig in at Hyesanjin on the banks of the frozen Yalu River and eat Thanksgiving dinner in their foxholes.
Chinese prisoners are rounded up as China enters the Korean War and 1st Marine Division troops and tanks retreat along snow-whipped Hagaru road towards Hungnam as C-47 and C-119 transports air drop supplies and equipment. Abandoned supplies and equipment are burned and wounded are evacuated by air from the air strips at Koto and Hagaru. Troops of the 1st Marine Division retreat through snow-covered Hagaru and Koto and many vehicles are abandoned along the road. Chinese prisoners are searched for arms.
Troops of the 1st Marine Division, the 7th Infantry Division and South Korea reach Hungnam and are evacuated by landing craft to transports lying offshore as 3rd Infantry. Wounded men hobble aboard transports as naval units patrol off the coast. Korean refugees flee the advancing Chinese.
