One ship’s role in the end of a war - a podcast by Land Line Now News Team

LLN (5/28/21) – In honor of Memorial Day, we’re presenting an encore of our story about a Navy vessel that played a key role the day Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, fell, finally ending near 30 years of warfare in that nation, and causing thousands of refugees to flee the South for safer shores. It’s the story of the USS Kirk as told through the eyes of a trucker who served as a gunner on the ship, a trucker who was in Saigon at the end, and the ship’s official historian, who was also on board that day. Also, a battle is underway to keep speed limiters, higher insurance requirements and more out of the highway bill. However, those things can happen even if the bill doesn’t include them. We’ll explain how.
