Piedmont, under the capable guidance of Lieutenant R.P. Lucey, Medical Corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, endeavors to fulfill this mission.

The Medical Department is here as a service to the crew and whether it be the familiar hra h D h Schmitt, L.H. Phillips, G.A P Se, ey oc, ow 'bout a couple APC's , or a call from the OOD for a corpsman on the double , we shall continue to serve you to the best of our ability. Milner, Jones Pagano, P-M
