The Riverine Photo Album is a tribute to those forces that served
in the river coastal war of South Vietnam, which was made up of
small units of sailors that manned forward firebases, floating
detachments, and rode small fast patrol boats and the larger heavy
riverine craft alongside South Vietnamese troops, mercenaries, and
regional forces, who were fighting for their independence from
communist rule. These Navy units were often the first to intercept
communist forces trying to transport weapons and fighters into the
Republic of Vietnam. Along with the 9th Infantry River Raiders,
they severed communist lines and defeated their armies. And then
their units were dis-established and sent home after turning over
many of their beloved boats, bases, and responsibilities to the
South Vietnamese Navy, whom they had trained. The River Rats and
River Raiders fought for freedom and they fought with honor, but in
the end they fought for each other. Praise is hardly enough.
