Operation Black Sheep My name is Robert and I have had the privilege of getting to know a few local Vietnam Veterans in the local area. I am Army Afghanistan Veteran who served with the 173rd Airborne and found making a connection with them was more than just a thank you. They want to share their stories and be heard. Some of them are still looking to find peace in their life and I want to help.
I am raising money to restore PBR 7331. 7331 is a Vietnam era boat and is one of the less than 40 PBRs in the US. Out of that 40 roughly a dozen are operational, out of that dozen only four see water every year. PBR 7331 will be a 40-hour a week spring-fall operational boat for the community and veterans to go out on and enjoy. I also want to provided a place were veterans can gather and make new friends. Friends who can support each other throw hard times.
This means a lot to me because our Vietnam Vets deserve more then they have ever gotten. I want to provide an opportunity to celebrate who they are and what they did. One way or another I will make this happen. I want to show them that they are the real greatest generation for doing what they did with such little support. They deserve so much more and I want to take them out on the water to hear their story and show them that people do care.
I am thankful for anyone who is willing to help this cause. I am also thankful for those who gave so much and received so little in return and am glad that I can get to know each and every one of them.
