His parents, Mr. and Mrs. jonett B. EPPERSON worked hard to raise their children and make ends meet during the slow dreary years of the depression which followed the post World War l boom. Like millions of other average American families who were beginning to know better times, the EPPERSONS were filled with anxiety and bewilderment at the mad whirl of war which followed in the wake of the 7th of December 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. After a year of the new war had passed, Harold EPPERSON, who had by now reached the draft age, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves on 12 December 1942 at Cleveland, Ohio. When he was sent to Marine Corps Training at Camp Elliott, San Diego, California, his mother and father were only proud that their boy was able and willing to serve his country in the interests of freedom and world peace. By 15 May 1943 Private EPPERSON was in the field aiding the American forces in their campaign against the japanese in the Pacific. On the 6th of August 1943 EPPERSON was promoted to Private First Class and in November of that year was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for ,his part in the invasion of the Gilbert lslands. PFC EPPERSON continued to do his part in the battle for the Pacific, until 25 june 1944, during the invasion of the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands, he gave his life on the battle scarred beach. For his meritorious service in the Battle of Saipan, Private First Class Harold Glenn EPPERSON was awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR posthumously with the following citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the First Battalion, Sixth Marines, Second Marine Division, in action against enemy japanese Forces on the Island of Saipan in the Marianas, on 25 june 1944. With his machine-gun emplacement bearing the full brunt of a fanatic assault initiated by the japanese under cover of pre-dawn darkness, Private First Class Epperson manned his weapon with determined aggressiveness, fighting furiously in defense of his battalion's position and maintaining a steady stream of devastating fire against rapidly infiltrating hostile troops to aid materially in annihilating several of the enemy and in breaking the abortive attack. Suddenly a japanese soldier, assumed to be dead, sprang up and hurled a powerful hand grenade into the emplacement. Determined to save his comrades, Private First Class Epperson unhesitatingly chose to sacrifice himself and, diving upon the deadly missile, absorbed the shattering violence of the exploding charge in his own body. Stout-hearted and indomitable in the face of certain death, Private First Class Epperson fearlessly yielded his own life that his able comrades might carry on the relentless battle against a ruthless enemy, and his superb valor and unfaltering devotion to duty throughout reflect the highest credit upon himself and upon the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country. t 1 A+ 1 'filll V f , , fy, lv , .,,.2' . , . fl, 41 Y it ll a, USS EPPERSON DD- 719 EPPERSON lDD-719j is a Gearing Class Destroyer whose primary missions are anti-submarine and anti-air warfare. She measures 106 feet from waterline to mast tip, is 391 feet long, 40 feet wide at her beam and has a speed in excess of 30 knots. She has a crew of approximately 18 officers and 260 enlisted men. The construction of EPPERSON was originally approved during World War ll. Her keel was laid in june 1945 at the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Kearney, New jersey. Construction was stopped at the end of World War ll and the uncompleted hull was towed to Boston Naval Shipyard where it remained until she was completed by Bath lron Works, Bath, Maine, and commissioned on 19 March 1949. The ship is named after Private First Class Harold Glenn EPPERSON, USMC, who won with his valor and his life the Nation's highest decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor, on Saipan during World War ll. Extensive sea trials were conducted in the Key West, Florida area September 1950 at which time EPPERSON was transferred to Pearl Harbor. ln 1951 and 1952 she saw service with the United Nations Forces in Korea and in 1954 with the U.S. Seventh Fleet Formosa Straits Patrol. Routine deployments to the Western Pacific with Anti-Submarine Warfare Groups have been made by EPPERSON since 1955. She participated in the 1958 High Altitude Nuclear Tests at johnson Island, and in 1962 she was stationed in the Mid-Pacific as a recovery vessel for Colonel john Glenn's historic flight. ln October of the same year she was part of the recovery force for Astronaut Walter Schirra's successful six orbit flight, and later in 1963 for the recovery of Astronaut Gordon Cooper. Since 1965, EPPERSON has completed six deployments to the Western Pacific. During these operations with the U.S. Seventh Fleet she has participated in extensive gunfire support missions in support of U.S. Forces in South Vietnam, and as a unit of Operation Sea Dragon, EPPERSON made numerous raids against enemy installations along the coast of North Vietnam. The successful completion of these gunfire missions, along with search and rescue missions, and support of Attack Carrier Forces has indeed kept EPPERSON, a unit of Destroyer Squadron 25, on the move .

Their jobs range from collecting and disseminating information to sending and receiving messages. It is impossible to describe the entire function of this department in a few simple sentences. The best way is to analyze the tasks of each of the divisions, thereby giving a brief insight into the functions of Operations Department as a whole. OC Division personnel are primarily responsible for the ship's communications. This group includes radiomen and members of the signal bridge gang. Radiomen handle literally thousands of messages during the course of a deployment. They must ensure that each and every message pertinent to the ship is accounted for and is routed to whomever it may concern. The radio personnel are equally responsible for the rapid and precise handling of EPPE's out-going message traffic. ln addition, they are accountable for setting up and maintaining the many radio circuits utilized by our ship in communicating with other members of the fleet. Signalmen, too, have a great responsibility in handling message traffic. Whereas the radiomen use high powered electronic gear, members of EPPE's signal gang communicate by use of flashing light, semiphore, and signal flags. To many, it looks like a great job when we see the signalmen sitting high up on the signal bridge basking in the sun's warm rays. What we quite often fail to realize is that even in the pouring rain the signalmen are on duty, standing alert to ensure that the message traffic goes th rough. To add further to the diversification of OC Division, the division is rounded out by postal clerks, hospital corpsmen, and ship's office personnel. The postal clerks are employed in the one job which has the biggest effect on shipboard morale, Mail comes to the ship at almost any time of the day lgenerally when it is least expectedl and by a wide variety of methods. On Yankee station, we receive mail by means of helicopter from the large carriers, which fly in mail almost daily from DaNang or Subic Bay. At other times, mail arrives at sea when we are alongside oilers, ammunition or refrigeration ships. The postal clerks are always ready to move the mail swiftly and efficiently as they realize the importance of helping to keep EPPERSON personnel, who are thousands of miles away from home, in the highest possible state of morale. The men in ship's office also deserve recognition for the highly efficient job they did in handling the mountains of paperwork that were passed through their hands during the cruise. The personnelmen and yeomen have charge of all of the service records of shipboard personnel, as well as attending to all of the ship's administrative paperwork and communications. Located next door to ship's office is sick bay, home address of our hospital corpsmen, who stand ever ready with shots, pills and saltines to keep us physically fit at all times. Throughout the deployment, the medics treated innumerable cases of shipboard sickness and injury, ranging from emergency lacerations to routine sickness. The other portion of Operations Department is MOI Division consisting of Electronics Technicians and Radarmen. The ET's are men who have become accustomed to reacting to emergency situations and could be referred to as Hemergencyn technicians. As long as radars, radio transmitters, and other high powered electronics gear is operating smoothly, it Hbelongsl' to the personnel operating that equipment. But, just as soon as a casualty occurs, the ET specialists are called in lmost of the time between midnight and 0400, or so it seemsl to repair the down equipment. Operating some of this complicated, electronic gear are the radarmen. These men, whose base of operations is the Combat Information Center, work hand-in-hand with bridge watch teams to ensure the ship's effective performance of every assignment whether it be transit steaming or Naval gunfire support. They manage EPPERSON's nerve center of the ship and are responsible for the collection interpretation and dissemination of valuable information to other parts of the ship Thus we have in capsule summary a glance at the complex structure that is Operations Department I-lf' 111 LT.

Parents, wives and sweethearts wonder What makes the EPPERSON go? Where does the electrical power come from? Who provides the fresh water when you are at sea? The answer to these questions is the men who compose the Engineering Department. Eight different types of skilled workers are included in four divisions within this department. B Division is made up of Boilermen whose job it is to generate the steam and supply the power to drive the EPPE's main engines, owned and operated by the Machinist Mates of M Division. Electrician Mates and lnternal Communicationsmen compose E Division. Comparing this division to the civilian world, one might refer to the electricians as the General Electric Corporation, as they provide our ship with lighting and electrical power, and the IC-men might well be likened to the Bell Telephone System. These men keep the ship's internal phone systems operating. R Division is subdivided into two groups of personnel which compose A Gang, responsible for shipboard refrigeration and air conditioning, and R Gang, whose task it is to repair everything from small welding jobs to replacing and repairing hatches throughout the ship. EPPE's Snipes run and maintain the shipboard machinery. ln addition, they supply the power for her electrical and electronic gear. EPPERSON engineers also supply the power to turn the screws, which enables us to carry out our assigned missions.

E2 ki i 2 l l The Supply department team of commissarymen and stewards works round the clock to provide varied and whole meals for EPPE's 285 crewmembers. The ship's store, operated by Supply department personnel, provides toiletries, cigarettes, candies, and other incidental items which are so important in maintaining high shipboard morale. Our ship's laundry works twenty four hours a day in providing clean clothing and linens for the crew. ln a typical week, Iaundrymen wash over 7000 pounds of laundry and press approximately 500 pieces of clothing and linens. Other facets of the Supply department include handling the payroll for EPPE's crewmembers. Disbursing clerks keep pay- roll records, issue special pay, and allotments to ensure that families are regularly and efficiently supported. Another factor in high shipboard morale is the friendly shipboard barber whose task it is to keep each of us looking well groomed and in good shape for periodic inspections. ln support of the ship and its equipment, our storekeepers ride herd on a repair part inventory comprised of 18,000 different items, all essential to the readiness and fighting capability of the ship. They also maintain the files and records necessary to order, issue, and document the expenditures of eighty thousand dollars every year. Supply department's work for the deployment began long before we left the islands. Tons of repair parts, consumables, ship's store stock, laundry and barber supplies, and food had to be packed on board the ship. Throughout deployment, we maintained and replenished this stock of supplies by means of underway replenishments from refrigerator and fuel ships. The goal of the supply department was to depart from Pearl Harbor as ready as possible for the lengthy deployment, and to ensure that throughout the cruise that EPPE was always ready for any mission assigned to her. ,ff iv, 'Q 4 Suppl Qfficer LTJG.-D.

In this capacity, destroyers follow astern of the mighty carriers in the event misfortune might befall one of the planes which launched and land on the carrier's deck. Destroyers also act as body guards, standing ready to repel any surface or sub- surface threat to the gigantic carrier. Plane guarding requires sure-handed ship handling as tons and tons of steel are maneuvered at dangerously close intervals and very high rates of speed. Bridge watch standers are called upon to analyze tactical signals and to execute orders on time and in a safe fashion. The ship's engineers deserve a great deal of the credit for a ship's success as plane guard. They are the ones who supply the UGO power to ensure that the ship is on station, which, when operating with the mighty attack carriers, is no easy task. lk-fc' f jf 3'.iweff2:'-ff:J41fsf,il:--qv ,?,,:f:-':,e.- Y P ' ' 1- 1' ' I I I ,.-r Yankee STHUGH 4 mf, H ,4 Jyyvkfwmfxgyw ' 7 14 fm'-'5 I cf 1' :V J 'M 'ff.4:,1j,4,.f:f ,fd 5 .L5f fffffwdff' f f w WW 5, , , .fzwwwkfzixfn f 'ry Wvggrwf J: 1 2-,+- Q2 if' YWUFFFQ: , .. - 1 e- -12.11 -1 'sag--faves,-if:r::'2513:g-aigezesgivgfeffsly.1-glgtfgsfazaasfaegi-33:32e,:4.g,.g+51-:eze1fJfgi,s.e..--- ,Zeus .1,gL, 1 -1 Eazgggffziji 53.5 fgtjjf- ::v::.e,:.:g::L5f1yjige L. wait 'l -if-?:5:1Lz:,1Q:1-rwfftufsietEffie3554:-rD.L1w'E.....f+ 'fffl- L:3,Z-E'.7?6 fr-,. gm,-fi. :F , :,.eff,1,:Ha.5-.1 Qffffsez-: 1441-3.5 .AS Gunline ir ir fifiwifx I .51 .5 Q1-,Sweat ff Ja' f X , 1 f 1 DRYDOCK lsee opposite pagel 1 if .Q On 9 November, 1970, EPPERSON entered the drydock at Subic Bay, Philippines, Naval base for 2 days inspection of the scoops leading to the main condensers. lt was believed that marine life might have built up sufficiently enough to restrict the flow of water through the scoops, effecting operation of the entire engineering plant. The drydocking revealed no significant amount of growth, but it did allow us to get some very interesting photographs of EPPE sitting high and dry. f ff ff GUNLINE +1 f 1 EPPERSON gun crews fired nearly eight hundred rounds in less than five days in support of friendly forces while serving on the gunline off the western coast of South Vietnam. ln several of the firing missions EPPE's five inch cannons blasted round after round into South Vietnam's swamps and forests in an effort to stem the flow of guerrilla activity. The success of our call for fire missions was attested to by the number of secondary explosions and fires resulting from EPPERSON's role in Naval Gunfire Support.

On this day, the ship passed just south ofthe island of Saipan in the Marianas chain - the island on which the ship's namesake gave up his life for his country. For this unselfish deed of heroism, PFC EPPERSON was presented posthumously the Nation's Highest Award, The Congressional Medal of Honor.

Leaving behind a quiet village on one of the Southern-most islands of the Philippines, Reasol first journeyed to San Diego, California, where he attended the school of instruction for Stewardsmates. Upon completion of this training, his new horizons broadened to Hawaii, where the Navy had ordered him to report aboard USS EPPERSON, home- ported at Pearl Harbor, Reasol served diligently in this command for several years. The ever-improving pace he set earned the privilege of becoming the Commanding Officer's personal steward. Reasol worked very closely with the commanding officers and received constant praise for his attention to detail, polite and self-assured manner. Once again his horizons were broadening. The former ship's barber had been detached from the command andlcom- bining previous barber training in the Philippines with his record of excellent performance, Reasol was recommended to fill the vacancy. He was delighted with the opportunity to practice his chosen profession as a Navyman. He met all customers with a cheerful greeting and took great pride in the work he performed, Then, without forewarning, he was gone from us. He had passed from this world at the youthful age of 28, having died from natural causes. It is difficult to believe that the friendly, little barber,who had become such a close friend of each of the crewmembers, would no longer be a part of our lives. We shall not soon forget your smiling face and your affable personality.

And, is our pledge to continue to pursue every means avaiable in our efforts to free those who are being held captive against their will. I I .I I . C. I I I .
