The Rubin Binder Reception

 

Kris Binder on board a PBR next to the Forward Gun Tub, Rubin's battle station on PBR 105 in the battle when BM1 Williams won the Medal of Honor. This PBR is a mark 11 PBR and the 105 was Mark 1 but it gave Kris the feel for how small the boat was that Rubin served on in Vietnam.
