Henry USCG CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE c To some, Easfwzndfs 'mission in Operation DEEP FREEZE 64 was of dubious importance, but we knew it was necessary to our country. All hands, Coast Guard and Navy, worked together as a ship for the satisfaction of accomplishing that mission. It was a challenge to each of us in his own way. At various times we each experi- enced some hardships and disappointments, yet every man kept on giving his best without complaint. There were also many gratifying and humorous moments. In Antarctica, we saw truly spectacular scenery in an area visited by relatively few men. During the voyage down and back, we had the pleasure of visiting other countries and learning something of their peoples and lands. Now as many of us leave Easzfwina' for other duties, it is my hope that this cruise book will remind you ofthe pleasures of this cruise and those who were your shipmates. ww, , -,. - , ,... ,, .
