All, In my previous life many years and years ago, I was a CT3 on active duty and later on a CTIC in the reserves. I made one cruise on the USS Georgetown (AGTR-2) in 1965, two on the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) in 1966 and one cruise on the USS Belmont (AGTR-4) in the spring of 1967. During this time, I was stationed at the Naval Security Group Activity at NSA Headquarters at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland for approximately two years. While there, I was assigned TDY to the USS Liberty for cruises #2 and #3 (1966). Later, I was supposed to the make cruises #4 and #5 (the fatal one), but I was re-assigned to the Belmont to make a cruise circumnavigating South America in the spring of 1967. The Belmont was going to be in Rio de Janeiro during mardi gras and since I was a Portuguese "I"-Brancher, I had myself taken off the African problem and reassigned to the South American problem. When the Belmont returned to Norfolk in June 1967, we were ordered to replace the Liberty in 24 hours. However, the Belmont began to sink at pier-side under the weight of a full load on oil and supplies. We never made it …. My replacement on the Liberty was Carl C. Nygren who is now buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I also knew Duane Hodges. God speed …. Never stop. Never give-up. Never let the memory fade .... JP J.P.

I was about fifteen when the Pueblo was taken. My dad was stationed in Seoul as a signal officer for KMAG. My memory tells me that North Korea sent a heavily armed group of about 30 commandos into Seoul to attack Park Chung Hee about 2 or 3 weeks before the Pueblo was taken. Nearly all of those commandos died from exposure or firefights. I think that one or possibly two survived to tell their tale. Several made their way to within blocks of the Blue House (President Park’s residence). In the end, this was a huge embarassment to the North, and I have always wondered how much influence it had on the decision to embarass the United States. I saw no mention of this incident onyour web page. Perhaps there was no connection. I would suggest adding a mention to the chronology. What do you think Bruce Holmgrain

Hello, I think of this ship a lot! I hate the fact it's sitting as a museum in North Korea. I'd love to sink the darn thing but they'd salvage it for some purpose. Probably can't help with much information but I was a CT in Gitmo at the time and remember the semi-panic we had handling some of the information and tools we used in the trade. Think I remember most was it was several hours if not days after the capture that we reacted. I kept thinking if the guys on the ship were not able to properly handle all the gear appropriately that means those commie bastards knew more than they should. CDR Bucher, a hero treated like a fool. The rest of the ships company are also hero's in my book. God, the Hawaiian Peace Sign ... what a hoot! At my next meeting of our Rolling Thunder Chapter, I think I'll remind them of these brave men and this dark period in Naval history. Support you in any way I can

I wanted to confirm or disabuse myself of something I had heard years ago – that along with the “international finger of derision” in the photo, that the final confession before release included an acknowledgment that the ship had gone into Korean waters, not far, but it had done it, and “penetration, no matter how slight, was sufficient to constitute the act.” I hope you don’t mind my asking. Thanks much. Peter Gilbert

Please clarify something for me. I understand from looking at the VA website that because the crew of the Pueblo were not considered Vietnam vets that they were not given POW status/benefits. http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Benefits/POW/DOCS/POW4-06-05.doc Just what is their status? Are they considered to be post Korean War service vets? Or are they considered neither.

Gentlemen: Why do you refer to Cdr. Bucher as Pete Bucher when his name was Lloyd Mark Bucher? I was at Coronado, Calif., in 1969, for a portion of SERE School, which was being conducted for our class at the SEAL training facilities there. At Naval District Headquarters they were conducting the kangaroo court for Commander Lloyd Bucher (the scapegoat and capt. of the Pueblo). Walking down the sidewalk near the Hdqtrs bldg one day, I looked up and saw Cdr. Bucher walking toward me. He passed several enlisted soldiers, sailors, and junior officers, NONE of whom saluted him! I was agast. As he neared me, I stopped, came to attention, cut him my smartest salute, and said, "Good afternoon Sir. I apologize for the the rude behavior of those others, and I'd like you to know that most of us are pulling for you and wish you the absolute best. May God bless you Sir, You did the right thing." Bucher stopped, tearfully returned my salute, shook my hand, and thanked me for my courtesy and thoughtfulness. I had tried to make his day better, he had made mine more than memorable.

In light of the fact that I am the daughter of a WWII Veteran and that he served 5 years aboard the ship U.S.S. Platte in the USN and then went on to serve 17 more years in the USAF. Was in Guam and many more places including Korea I beg of you and all of you that read this page to stand up and fight for the men who so bravely fought, died and live today to tell their stories and then be shoved aside by our U.S. Government and the people who do not recognize the fact that if they had not fought these wars we may not have the freedom we have. Our men deserve so much more, no matter where they served. If you will start a petition we will sign it and keep it going around the world. For all of our men that so bravely fought and served as prisoners I commend you with great admiration. May God Bless all of your courage and the sacrifices you have made for all of us.

Dear USS Pueblo Veterans, I am trying to establish contact with one of your fellow crewmembers. Stu Russell is a familiar name and an individual whom my parents were friends with following his release. Unfortunately I was too young to remember much of Stu and certainly too young to appreciate anything of what he and yourselves had gone through. In the 5th grade I read a most intriguing book, “Captain Bucher, My Story.” It was a book that sat on my parents shelves for years and I just never knew why until I read it and my parents told me, “remember Stu Russell in La Crescenta, CA…?” What a fascinating story it was and I ended up making it part of a project at school. I wish I could have interviewed Stu back during that time. Anyhow, I am now a grown man and proud to say a Navy Veteran currently serving in the reserve component following 11 proud years as an F/A-18 Strike Fighter pilot. I will be embarking on an annual exercise called Ulchis Focus Lens later this month aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. Perhaps you are familiar with this OpPlan (the defense of the Korean peninsula). During our training last month, we viewed a History Channel video which featured Stu Russell. I rekindled an interest I have in having the opportunity to correspond with Stu and I would like to know if you would please help. Would you please forward this e-mail message to Mr. Russell (if you can) and inquire if he remembers Ed and Kathy Arteta from La Crescenta, CA. I am their middle son and would like to know if he’d be interested in a little non-intrusive correspondence. I can be reached at the e-mail address from which this is sent. Thank you kindly for your help. Kind Regards, David Arteta

Wrote you people some time back about Navy RM assigned to White house duty who delivered your flash priority message to the president. He was talking about messages like this and how they had three minutes to deliver them to the president. Man had a security clearance so far above top secret that CO about shit when he opened up the service record. RM was one of those people who took out a can of brasso and polished his honor every morning. Said he ran up to the west wing and the secret service didn't want him to break into the meeting of the national security council. He busted in and handed the president the message. He said that he didn't care if the president was in the shower that was where he was getting the message. You were in trouble and RM said to the secret service when stopped "THIS IS HOT! HE GETS IT NOW!". Knowing this guy they would have had to shoot him to stop him. Said "that is all I can tell you". Heard from a Navy Submarine Sonar tech that when USS Enterprise was racing to your area his sub was recording it as an unknown contact. The contact was so loud and unusual that they sent out a radio contact report. Enterprise had all reactors on line and could have gone faster if the hull could take the pounding. Sub was ordered to destroy the recording and sonar log of the contact. GPrice

Hello from Oakland, California. As you can tell by the information below, I work for the DAV. I am currently working with one of the former crewmembers, Armando Canales. He has been denied benefits by the VA. I am wondering if there is anyone I can contact concerning any lay statements or other cooperative information to establish PTSD, sleep disorder, and bilateral upper and lower extremity cold weather injuries. The VA has seen fit to deny those benefits in the veteran's case. Thanks for your time and God Bless! Clay Saucier

Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2005 08:26:28 -0500 I was an Engineman 3rd class on the USS blue which was called upon to possibly rescue the men and the USS Pueblo. We left Yokuska Japan on or around February 11th, as that was my 20th birthday. That is why I remember it so well. We actually left Yokuska with radar and sonar as we had just returned from sea duty in Vietnam and we were refitting and pulling PM all of our equipment. We stopped in Sasabo to pick up this gear and proceed directly to North Korean waters and join the task force led by the USS Enterprise. I do remember that we were all on high alert and didn't know from minute to minute what might be ahead of us. I do remember that on one particular day we had a fly over by Russian bombers. We were also joined on station by a Russian destroyer for most of the time. She shadowed us for quite a few days. Thanks Glenn Harvey.....

To All Survivors and Descendants of USS Liberty http://www.ussliberty.org//index.html I found your website from a link at www.USSPueblo.org Let me say that I am so extremely proud to include in my life experiences, having been a member of the US Navy from 1968 to 1976. That being said, I am disappointed and frustrated by the actions of our government in ignoring the plight of a Navy warship under the attack of any hostile force. Anyone who had any involvement in causing the rescue mission for the USS Liberty in June of 1967 to be halted, has brought terrible disgrace upon themselves and has shown themselves to be without honor. Without honor, they have nothing. The same should also be stated and taken as an absolute for those involved in covering up the facts surrounding the unlawful and horrible assault on a US Naval vessel in international waters. It is obvious to the most casual observer that, on far too many occasions, leaders of our government display contempt beyond comprehension for members of our military who serve this nation proudly, even under the poorest of circumstances. I would be happy to do whatever I can to help to spread the word and enlighten others of the plight of the crew of the USS Liberty. It is my hope that the crew and surviving family members may find some solace in the fact that there are those of us who honor and respect the service and sacrifice made by these fine Americans! Thanks for sharing this story with all of us, Ted Carmack

I'm a reporter for The Associated Press in Washington gathering information for a story about the Pueblo and have a question or two for you, please. I've just talked with Ambassador Donald Gregg, former CIA chief and later U.S. ambassador in Seoul, who was with CIA in Japan when the Pueblo was taken. He says he was in Pyongyang 10 days ago and was told that the United States probably could get the ship back if a "high-level visitor" would go to Pyongyang. Gregg figures they're talking about the level of the secretary of state. What's the reaction of you and your organization to that offer? Gregg says he was on the ship last year and it's been cleaned and refurbished and looks great. I know the people of Pueblo, Colo., are talking about buying land on the prairie to make a lake as a permanent home for AGER-2. Is that what the organization would like to be done with the ship if she were brought back? What can you tell me about Duane Hodges, your shipmate who was killed during the attack? As I recall he was at the .50-cal when he was hit. What was his rate and rating? Please respond quickly, as I'm looking to write the story by the end of the day Friday. Many thanks, and best regards, Bill Mann The AP

Thank you for your site. In January of 1968 I had been in-country in Vietnam for about a month with my armored track and my heavy artillery unit. Word came of the capture of the Pueblo, and I felt for certain that we might very soon be in Korea, or at least in much escalated activity where we were. As the days went by, I waited in vain for the blow I felt certain the US would deliver in return. How I desired to be a part of that effort! It never came. I just wanted you to know - someone - how much the Pueblo Incident affected me. At the time I could not conceive that the US would so cynically abandon its fighting men, having once put them in such lonely jeopardy. I have never forgotten it, and actually at the time what I conceived was a determination to never be captured - no matter what the cost might be. With God's grace I did what I could in Vietnam against the enemies of freedom and went home for good after nearly two years with an army commendation and very mixed feelings. I was by no means satisfied that I had done enough or that the fight was over. Unfortunately, the US pattern of abandoning good causes was to be visited again upon the poor people of the Republic of Vietnam shortly after. You who served on the Pueblo represent the America I had hoped for and believed in all of my young days. You will always be my heroes, as much as the North Koreans, North Vietnamese and their communist collaborators and abettors will epitomize everything that is repugnant or evil about human nature and its potential for abuse. As for the United States - I dare hope that there are still many who revere what is genuinely right, but I will never forgive those who betrayed our cause, or what became of our once fine purpose. I speak for myself. May God bless you all. Jim Buechele

During your ordeal I was stationed at NAS Willow Grove, Pa. Our wing was activated to answer the threat of the North Koreans. I suppose that all the activation amounted to was a political posturing. At any rate we were ordered to stand by an were returned to assignment at NAS Willow Grove. Every veteran of the USS Pueblo is an unsung hero. Our country owes each and every one of you a HUGE apology for the stigma placed on you and the subsequent humiliations, and degradations that each of you endured from the United States.

All, I am sure you are aware of this article below. Is this an opportunity for me to help in anyway? I would be happy to broadcast anything that can be done toward the goal of getting Pueblo back. Let me know where I can help. Rod Utech POW/MIA Radio North Korea offers ship if U.S. sends top official By WILLIAM C. MANN The Associated Press U.S. NAVY FILE PHOTO / APThe spy ship USS Pueblo was captured Jan. 23, 1968, off the North Korean coast. Its crew was held captive and tortured for 11 months. The ship remains in Pyongyang and is a local attraction. WASHINGTON — Negotiations to eliminate North Korea's nuclear weapons remain in limbo, but the North Koreans are giving hints that they might be ready to end another lingering problem with the United States by returning the captured spy ship USS Pueblo. They are setting an unlikely condition, though, considering hostile U.S.-North Korean relations: a visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or another top-level American official."It would be a gesture, but somebody needs to make a gesture," said Donald Gregg, a former U.S. ambassador to South Korea who brought home the offer after a mid-August trip to North Korea.He told the State Department about his discussions. A department official said there are no plans for a high-level visit to North Korea.The Pueblo ranks low in the hierarchy of irritants causing bad blood between the two countries. Paramount is the North's admitted nuclear-weapons and missile programs. The United States has also criticized North Korea's human-rights record, its maintenance of a million-strong army while its people live off donated food, and what it sees as North Korea's support for terrorism.Still, to those involved with the Pueblo — and to the U.S. Navy — the ship's plight is far more than a footnote to the history of the Cold War. Sent defenseless on an intelligence-gathering mission off the North Korean coast, and given no help after North Korean torpedo boats mounted an attack, the Pueblo was captured Jan. 23, 1968. It was the first U.S. warship captured since 1807.Navy records show the ship was in international waters; the North Koreans insist it was inside the Korean coastal zone. In the attack, an explosion killed fireman Duane Hodges, and 10 of the 82 surviving crewmen were wounded. All 82 were held 11 months, often under heavy torture, before being sent to South Korea on Christmas Eve across the "Bridge of No Return" in the Demilitarized Zone dividing the Koreas.The Pueblo now sits at its moorings on the bank of the Taedong River in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital. Organized tours of North Koreans walk its decks to view evidence of their country's supremacy on the high seas; bullet holes on the bulkheads are circled in red. Gregg heads the Korea Society in New York, which describes itself as a nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting "awareness, understanding and cooperation between the people of the United States and Korea. "He did not identify the North Korean official who suggested the high-level visit. But he told The Associated Press that "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!" Patrick Henry, 1775

I came across your web site by accident. While reading its contents I realized that I might have information relevant to your interests that were not a part of any record with respect to the capture of the ship. My participation in the peripheries of this incident may appear, on the surface, to be negative. However, it is not my intent to diminish in any way the integrity and actions of the crew. During the relevant time here, I was a member of the Staff, Commander Service Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Upon entering the Pacific Fleet, Pueblo was under the theater command of COMSERVPAC. My job with COMSERVPAC was to ensure that personnel information (especially officer information) on all COMSERVPAC ships was current and accurate. In this regard, I was responsible for the control and accuracy of ODCR’s (Officer Distribution Control Reports). ODCR’S are reports submitted by ship personnel directly to COMSERVPAC. I personally received, reviewed, and logged all of these reports for all ships within COMSERVPAC control. Long before Pueblo was captured, it came to my attention that the ODCR for Pueblo was extremely out of date. Under COMSERVPAC signature, I repeatedly requested current information directly from the ship and from Commander Bucher. No response was received from Pueblo. Shortly before her capture, Pueblo came to Pearl Harbor (headquarters of COMSERVPAC). I continued my efforts to obtain current information. These efforts included personal telephone calls to the ship. Promises made were unfulfilled. These circumstances may be nominally justified as an attempt to maintain secrecy; however, from a command perspective, there may be questions about the failure to provide the information. Within hours of Pueblo’s capture, I received a telephone call at my home. COMSERVPAC was trying to retrieve current ship’s personnel information. I could only repeat to the Admiral that current information was not available. Fortunately for me, all of my contacts with Pueblo before capture were well documented. Otherwise, I suspect that I might have been on the wrong end of a court martial. Gary D.

Two or three weeks before the Pueblo was captured I went aboard her to swap movies in Yokosuka. The Petty Office on the quarterdeck was a man I had served with in USS Skagit, '60-62. I think he was a radarman 3rd class. Can't remember his name. Hope he came through okay. I remember being amazed by the tight security on the Pueblo at that time. I later realized why. Crum Ex-BM2

Dear Sir: I found your contact info on the Pueblo website. I am a Seoul-based freelance journalist, writing mainly for The Washington Times, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong and The Times of London. If you do a Google search (Andrew Salmon Korea) you should be able to find a number of my articles. North Korea Press Tour I am scheduled to visit North Korea on a media tour between 11-14 Oct. Of course, with North Korea, the tour could be cancelled at the last moment: it has already been postponed once, but I think there is at least a 50-50 chance that it will go ahead. Story on USS Pueblo The story I would really like to write up there for both WT and SCMP is on the Pueblo, which, as you know, is a tourist attraction in central Pyongyang - it is moored, incidentally, on the site of the sinking of the SS General Sherman in 1866: the first ever Korean-American commercial or military interaction. Interview Request Before travelling, I would like to interview - preferably by email, but I could do a tel interview -yourself, your shipmates, or any significant member of the Pueblo association, assuming, of course, that you are agreeable. Questions: What would you like to say to the current "Captain" of the Pueblo? (According to my sources, the curator of the floating museum is a member of the North Korean navy who took part in the capture of the vessel. I am hoping to interview him - and would pass on your questions, or messages if you like...) What is your abiding memory of the day of the capture? (Anecdotes would be good) What is your abiding memory of your time in North Korean captivity? (Anecdotes would be good) What is your opinion of Commander Bucher's Court Martial? How do you feel the Pueblo crew have been treated by the US government? What are your feelings about your vessel's current role as a tourist attraction/propaganda site by the North Koreans? What do you think the US government can or should do about the Pueblo? Have you heard about any negotiations by the US government to get the Pueblo back? Are you surprised that, to get it to Pyongyang, the North Koreans managed to sail the ship around the peninsula without being detected by the South Korean or US navies? Very best regards - Andrew Salmon Seoul
