It also contains charts of areas we patrolled marked where the actions recorded in the book took place. To cap it off, numerous photos of the patrols, the rivers, the people, Nha Be, Ben Luc and the Harnett County are included. You will recognize much of it. The book is written as "Non-Fiction". According to Ron Seagrave,Managing Director of Sergeant Kirkland's Historical Society and Museum, Fredericksburg, VA, The publisher, "Given the necessary p.r. time [minimum 3 months before release], final editing and production time-- an early summer release date is now planned.

Message is: Mike, I am writing in response to your note today, 11/07/97. Couldn't get into this area earlier. I got a list of all the John Hopper's in CA that were availiable on the web. This is in behalf of a disabled vet--Ron Fleming, who has been working on his claim for 10 yrs. and needs verification from someone aboard that ship. He can only remember John Hopper, at this time. Presently being treated for PTSD, but has other service-connected ijuries. Ron said that he served with the Sonar Gang--on that ship. 1966-67. Ron also said that the USN Charles P. Cecil was the first destroyer to leave the east coast to Vietnam. He is not able to work and getting non-service connection although, they treat him for PTSD--in Augusta, GA--he doesn't meet the VA's criteria for getting compensation, due to the fact that he was not exposed to enough "stressors" and he did not get a purple heart. I do know that he never got off the ship. Have worked on claims for many vets, this is well, kind of personal. My husband Bernie-past commander of DAV and is totally, permanently disabled 120% sc thinks this is a joke. but he's a Marine, and well, you know the rest---super grunt... Doing this for the family. Am happy to do so. Thanks for anything you might find. Ron is using me for his E-Mail address (DFRALEY@aol.com) and I unlocked my box for your response. ADDRESS-------- RON FLEMING 206 TONEY RD. UNION, SC 29379 (864-427-1705) Regards, deb.
