Thanks for this - my neighbor served two tours in PBRs. He still can't talk much about it. I respect him a lot - her recently retired after a 31 year career with the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. You might check this link out, too.

Thanks for the link. I have a friend who served in PBRs.

Unfortuanately I lost touch with him since moving to Oregon, we just exchange Christmas Cards now.

We may know your neighbor. Thanks for the post! :) I have know many people who served in Vietnam. I can think of very few who ever talk about it. Welcome to FR!!
