COMMANDING OFFICER USS McGINTY (DE-36S) 1 August 1962 Hoping we ' ll see each other again - - - it has been a real personal satisfaction to me to have served with such an outstanding , loyal group of officers and men as we have on the Mc Ginty. judging by the letters and messages received from the president, Fleet, Task Group , and Squadron Commanders , we must have performed well in all respects. Besides the hard work, there were memories of fun, comradeship and adventure that a sailor always finds and enjoys and that we will forever treasure. This cruise was unique in that you are among the few who received the call to duty; that in the opinion of those who should know, pre- vented a shooting war and thus prevented the call up of many other citzen-sailors , soldiers and airmen. In the words of Churchill to be a Reservist is to be a citzen twice and your devotion to duty and patrotism should be gratifying to you. Best of luck and sincerest wishes to you, who are receiving and deserve the thanks of a grateful nation. Respectfully hf AAKHUS

JACK E. BERGLUND, CDR,USNR Executive Officer It was my pleasure to have been assigned to the McGinty in August, 1961, shortly before our activation. Upon recall, it was quite apparent to all hands that we had inherited a big job. The splendid manner in which this crew tackled all problems from reconstruction of the ship and underway training through fleet operations, frequently doing all simultaneously, has been greatly appre- ciated. My evaluation of this crew, as has been previously stated, is: It has been my privilege to be a member of the crew of the U.S.S. McGinty. In departing, my best wishes are extended to the ship, its crew, and to each of you on your individual endeavors. Sincerely, Jack E. Berglund, Executive Officer
