Picture of the Day: Return of the Pueblo Crew

Kimpo Air Base, South Korea, December 24, 1968: Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher, front left, skipper of the USS Pueblo, says goodbye to Gen. Charles H. Bonesteel III, commander in chief of the United Nations Command in Korea, as Pueblo crew members wave victory signs. The newly-freed sailors were about to leave for the U.S., having spent the past 11 months in captivity after the intelligence ship's capture by the North Koreans.
