Richard Botkin's Book
Some of you may recall a certain Marine who attended our DC reunion. He was our link to our Cobra Pilot that ditched in front of us in ’75. Richard Botkin has been in close contact with our group and interviewed Bon and Captain Jacobs for a book that is about to be released. We (the Kirk) are featured in a section towards the end of his lengthy and well documented expose of the true story of the Vietnam War.

The book, Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War Story of Honor and Triumph, can be ordered at Amazon. I would encourage all of you to place some orders! We are hoping to have Rich attend our next DC reunion for a book signing.

UPDATE 7/10/2009: I got my copy today - so the book is out!

USS Kirk - A Poem
Once we were together
Gathered on the brine
From far and wide, our ship supplied
We took our place in line.
