We are all heariing the dim talking point "on the same boat", as if it's a major point of argument.
Thanks to www.brownwater-navy.com these archived photos might offer some explanations of where swiftvets have been.

Notice they had to walk from boat to boat, or on each other's boats. The boats are tied together.

Saying the experience was limited to a single crew, is like saying the members of one fire truck are unaware of another fire truck, when they were all going to the same fire.

Maybe this will help.

First, I was NOT there, but from my research, one thing that I have noticed keeps coming up: "the same boat". "boat #X". Just a question for the Swiftees that were there, if a boat was damaged, you guys would hop in the next available boat, right? Also, how often did the same people use the same boat? It's funny how Mr. Kerry's group seems to be losing the weak minded in semantical debates through carefully chosen words (kind of reminds me of someone else Wink). You guys are fighting the good fight, so hold that line and never back down. John Kerry had no qualms about leaving his 'brothers' and using it for political advantage, which like now, seems to be unraveling on him. GOOD JOB!

There is nothing complicated about what crews were on what boat or what crews were where. Our other organization has another website that fully lists us by name, rank and boat crew number, and where we was stationed. It been public information for many years, Swift Boat Veterans for truth was just started up recently, However,Swift Boat Sailors Association has been around for many years, holds annual reunions, collects dues, has a website, and has restored a boat which is in San Diego. There is also a newsletter put out. Do do confuse the two, Swift Boat Sailors Association is a completly different organization from Swift Boat Veterans for truth, But we do share one thing, We all sailed on the Swift Boats. Want to see who sailed on what Boat and with whom just visit the website. There listed by boat number. It will also list those men who did not make it back and will link to other Swift Boat Veterans web sites.
CGC 68-69, An Toi, Danang, Swift Boat Crew6C, Coronado 1968

And I won't forget what was said about us by Kerry.
