Since the USS Pueblo is in the news recently, I thought I'd share a few sites that deal with some historic events involving the ship, her capture and her brave men, some of whom I knew.
Remember the USS Pueblo (AGR-2)
The USS Pueblo (AGER-2) was captured by the North Koreans in international waters on
January 23, 1968. The crew spent the next 11 months as prisoners and were released on
December 23, 1968. Today, 43 years later, the Pueblo is still in the hands of the North
Koreans. Our crew now numbering 66 from our original total of 83 the day of the capture.
