The story of Task Group ALFA which is recorded here . . . its history, its present activities, 'itsfuture . . . is only part of what has happened, one tenselincident among thousands, a sketch of the daily routine that is our lives, a glimpse of moments of fun we have shared. It is a story that has rarely made headlines . . . and yet, it is the story of our job-to protect the Atlantic Coast of our country from undersea invaders. This job places us in an important position, and a dillicultttone. ' It is our responsibility to utilize our resources in the development of new techniques to meet the future threats of the submarine, as it becomes a more sophisticated weapon, with greater potential for destruction. lt is our respon- sibility to strive each day to be a strong answer to the provocative questions asked of our country by those who would have the free world enslaved. If our answer remains strong, if our abilities remain keen and our readiness complete, if our minds continually search new ways of effectively combatting both the enemy and the mysteries of the ocean itself . . . and if our belief in the ideals of freedompand democracy stand inviolate and strong,,then we have done our job. t .L ' 7 Let us continue our work, not defeated by boredom and routine, but chal- lenged by it. Let us go through days of empty sky and silent waters, through endless drills and alerts, for the one moment which will justify our 'existence and test our strength. Let us wait for that moment for that sound, for that sighting, with all the skill and courage we possess. And in that moment, let us act as Americans, and remember our purpose and our cause. K There is a time when this story will be history and a memory to those who lived it . . . someday half forgotten, obscured by greater moments, more obvious glories, perhaps more challenging problems. When the time comes that this is past, and we have been recorded, let our record be written with honor, and remembered with pride. But that time is in the future, and our joh is now. 23
