THE GODBEHERE PATROL
[The Jere Beery
Story]
This video (Parts-1, 2, 3) is a 1992 rough-cut work-copy of a
true story documentary film about the life and death struggle of 5 badly
injured men ambushed by the Viet Cong in 1968. It is the intensely bloody true
untold story of combat on a river in the Mekong Delta as told by the men that
where there. You will hear the story of survival of a badly damaged PBR river
patrol boat and her critically wounded crew.
STORYLINE:
"Tonight we were under the command of
one of our favorite officers, Lieutenant Richard Godbehere. The Lieutenant was
in his early thirties and had been with River Section 511 for about eight
months. During the period of time, the Lieutenant had encountered the Viet Cong
many times, including having one boat shot out from under him, sunk. Because he
was a "Mustang," we all felt a little closer to him than some of the other
officers, and his name 'GOD-BE-HERE' was considered good luck and sort of a
divine blessing on our boats and our patrols".
I have recently decided to share this video at the request
of many close friends and fellow veterans.
This video is being shared with the full consent and
permission of all parties appearing in the video.
