VFW Post 10216 "Hill 180 Memorial" is named in honor of a historic Korean War Battle of "Bayonet Hill", Hill 180.  It was so named because for the Bayonet Charge up Hill 180, led by "Medal of Honor" recipient then Captain Lewis L. Millet.  Now a Retired Army Colonel, COL Millett honored us with his presence during "Remembrance Day" Ceremonies on his Hill 180 in 1998, 1999, and 2001, the 50th anniversary year of his historic charge.
