I should have added that the brother was restoring a Corsair as the reason for the salvage.

LTC Stephen Conway - I wasn't exactly on PBR's Brother Stephen. If you google MRFA and look at where they show the different types of Boats, I was on an Armored Troop Carrier (ATC}, called a Tango Boat. It was one of the older ones and actually had a flight deck on it for landing Choppers.
