USS Pueblo

USS Pueblo

I am including this album as a small tribute to the USS Pueblo and her crew who were seized and taken hostage by North Korea on January 23, 1968. One sailor was killed in the capture and the rest were imprisoned, beaten and tortured for 11 months. I am honored to have had the privilege of meeting these men and their Commanding Officer at the time of their release and again when I was invited to attend their USS Pueblo reunion last fall. CMDR Llyod Bucher was and always will be to me a hero. As are all the men who endured that event and the times that followed. CMDR Bucher passed away January 29, 2004.
