The Mobile Riverine Force in Vietnam
One of the most imaginative, unique, and successful elements of the US war effort in Vietnam was the Mobile Riverine Force (MRF), a joint Army-Navy venture in the Mekong Delta launched in 1967. Joining us to talk about the MRF are self-described “old River Rats” Cliff Fejfar and Ed Werle, as well as Jeff and Shannon Arballo, who are completing a documentary about the MRF. Join us to talk about the 9th Infantry Division, the Brown-Water Navy, and the war in the Mekong Delta. Sponsored by D&D Auto Salvage and Tobacco Free Adagio Health. Simulcast to Facebook and YouTube.
GET INVOLVED TODAY
The mission of the Veterans Breakfast Club is to create communities of listening around veterans and their stories to ensure that this living history will never be forgotten. We believe that through our work, people will be connected, educated, healed, and inspired.
INTRODUCING THE VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT
Preserving veterans’ stories so that this living history is never forgotten.
We pair passionate VBC volunteers with military veterans for one-on-one oral history interviews over Zoom. If you are a veteran, or you know a veteran, who would be interested in sharing his or her story with us, let us know. If you are someone interested in conducting these interviews, please reach out!
