Kirk Barnes Knipp

West Point, 1981

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Duke Nishimura on February 24, 2012:

Perhaps it was of no coincidence that Kirk recently felt a calling to serve yet again. This time studying at the Baptist Seminary to help others. Did Kirk understand the true calling? Was it a message? Was it preparation? Was it a calling home? Was it yet another training run to be one of the earlier finishers? We can not know now, but perhaps it was revealed to him, the way it should be, the way he would want it to be, the way He would want it to be. Kirk, thank you for your friendship. May your journey be adventuresome, your destination be heavenly and your companions angelic. Salute...Taps...
