For USS Kirk FF-1087
Protecting
the ship, you took her fate in your hand
America
is proud of you and your shipmates
United Sates
stands tall as our precious Land
Loss of Freedom
when the Viet Cong went south for their takes
Joining The
Frequent Wind, you and Kirk 1087 gave your
hand
A life is born
thanks to your shipmates and you, holding your helm
Conviction
in your hearts, the South Vietnamese were to be saved
Overcrowded,
nevertheless, you let go of one chopper after another
Because
of your American heroism, we are still alive as we prayed
Sweet
seventieth Birthday, Captain, you make US Navy proud forever…
