You know, I get some pretty cool experiences being a photographer. I get to capture unforgettable moments, record stages in peoples lives, meet incredible people.
Well, more recently I spoke with Captain Paul Jacobs of the USS Kirk. He had an incredible story of his time in Vietnam. He is in a documentary called The Lucky Few that tells the story of how they saved hundreds of refugees. He more recently has been included in an upcoming documentary called Last Days of Vietnam. This movie was directed by Rory Kennedy, who is the daughter of Robert Kennedy.
As a gift to Rory for shedding light on the experiences there, Capt. Paul Jacobs is giving her a special coin of her uncle, John F. Kennedy.
Now here's where I come into play, the coin is so small it's hard to see the images. So, I was asked to photograph the front and back of the coin so it can be seen easier.
It was a fun experience and an honor to meet Capt. Paul Jacobs and to here is story.
If you get a chance you can see the Last Days of Vietnam on April 28th at 9pm on PBS.
Here's the coin.....
