PBR Restoration
Builders Plate for our PBR provided by Bob Brower
The Restoration of PBR’s will be a living memorial to those who served in Combat with honor on the Rivers and Canals in Vietnam.
We are actively involved in restoring PBRs at Jim Creek Naval Radio Station. Our work is cut out for us. We are very excited about the future of PBRs in the Northwest. As a member of The Northwest Chapter you have many ways to help us restore the boats.
1. If you live close to the restoration facility at Jim Creek offer to lend a hand. If you have special skills let them know.
2. Make a donation to the restoration project.
3. Seek out corporate sponsors or if you have a contact point and would prefer an officer to make contact let us know. WE NEED ALL THE CORPORATE SPONSORS WE CAN FIND.

A little hard work and everything can come true.
Imagine:
OUR PBRs: On trailers in Military parades on Armed Forces Day or Memorial Day.
The USS Ford FFG 54 being escorted into Bellingham Harbor by OUR PBRs for a port visit. (named for Patrick O Ford from River Section 535)
OUR PBRs: Sailing in to Elliot Bay for Sea Fair with the fleet of lesser vessels like a Carrier, Destroyers and Submarines.
OUR PBRs: Leading the Boats through the Gap on the first day of boating in Washington State.
