Goodbye My Love    USS Kirk FF-1087, my darling The deep blue sea is taking me home For my last wish, please embrace these Viet refugees My rotor blades have just cut through the war-storm  I have lived a meaningful life alongside our America’s sons and daughters  They came to Vietnam to procure communism’s death You, Kirk 1087, and your fellow U.S. Armed Forces, I salute you with my last breath…   Linh Duy Vo August 10, 2006 ©

Hi Papa San,

America is like the raindrops and I am a little creature in the abandoned desert.  Your love for me is just that, the drops of rains...
I am to send you the set of copies of my poetry/history of a Viet refugee/recipient of love from USS KIRK and her America for the RADM.
Please give Papas San Donald Roane and Richrard Armitage my love and gratitude.

Hugs,
Linh baby san
