| Godfather | Quote: Battle of Osan
This battle was the first engagement between US and North Korean forces during the Korean War. Vastly outnumbered and ill-equipped, US Task Force Smith of 500 men suffered 150 casualties while inflicting about 120 on the enemy and delaying them half a day.
Task Force Smith was named for Lieutenant Colonel Charles B. Smith, commanding officer, 1st Battalion, 21st Regiment, 24th Infantry Division.
