Reunion, The KTMVO Board of Directors met by “ZOOM” meeting of Thursday 13 January. We voted unanimously for holding our reunion 11-15 May 2022 in Las Vegas. For additional information please check out the president letter on the web site. One of our major issues is determining the number of people that will attend. So please fill out the registration form as soon as you can so we can get a fair idea as to the number we can expect.

RIP Betty Hoffman!!
You were one helluva of lady to keep Lt. Dan in line, not to mention putting up with the rest of the group.
Semper Fi!!!

It is with heavy heart that I have to inform everyone that Betty Hoffman (Dan's Wife) passed away Tuesday night in her sleep. Betty was a wonderful Lady and will be so missed by all. I can't imagine the grief and pain that our brother is going through. Please keep Dan in your prayers. When I know more details, I will let everyone know.

Wishing all the group a great year ahead....let’s go Brandon. FJB

Merry Christmas to all. Let us all pray for our country and that 2022 is a much better year than 2020 and 2021.

The most memorable moment in my life.
To experience the exit from Hong Kong and making fast pace to Kohtang was accelerating. Seeing the boarding of other forces to the Holt put more of a perspective to our mission. Highlight for this MM was when our Chief stationed me near a hatch just beyond the starboard breezeway.He told me to keep the hatch open for air circulation and added "if you hear/feel any unexpected Boom or other action.... dive through the hatch and close it as I go!"
Most memorable event of my life.
One I will cherish forever. I feel bad as I've forgotten so many names and due to theft I no longer have pictures etc.
But regardless I will always be proud having served on the HoltDE1074/ HoltFF1074.

Happy Birthday all, see you in May 2022
