Veterans History Project Interview- Richard J. Rogala




As a crew member of the USS Pueblo which was seized by the North Koreans in 1968, Mr. Rogala was a prisoner of war for 11 months. During 2008,the 40th annniversary year of this international incident, he is asking his fellow citizens to contact their elected representatives to effect the return of the USS Pueblo to the United States. The ship's return from Pyongyang Harbor would provide more closure for the difficult and painful period of captivity. Mr. Rogala received the above copy of a letter which his Congressman wrote to Secretary of State Rice.
