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.

About Us
The Gamewardens Viet Nam to Present Association consists of members that in the 'Past' were involved in inshore operations in the Republic of Viet Nam during the length of that conflict. It is the OLDEST continuously operating veterans group involved in that war. As well, current members include sailors known as Special Warfare Combatant Craft (SWCC) crewmen and represent our 'Present' commitment. We hope our effort honors them also.
