Messages To The Crew Of Sanctuary 13 December 1973 SANCTUARY today completed a highly successful deployment. lt is a type mision that had not been attempted by the Navy before and the activities of ship, hospital and Seabee team are a source of pride to all of us involved with the deployment. The full impact of your work in Colombia and Haiti will not be assessed for some time and may never be truly known, but from reports available, your success has been greater than anticipated and problems encountered have been handled expertly and with dispatch. Well done. ' RADM J.T. BURKE COIVISERVLANT 14 December 1973 Our cruise is over and we are proceeding homeward to spend the holiday season with our families. lt will be a well deserved homecoming and holiday for all of you. You have all done a magnificent job, you have helped many people who needed help, and l am sure that you have enriched your own life by your experiences and observations of the past two months. As a matter of fact, I sometimes think that perhaps we are taking with us much more than we left behind. This past year has been an exciting year for us, and, like most years, it had its accomplishments and its disappointments. The important thing is that we have completed what we set out to do. The ship has been overhauled and reconfigured, you put her back together and made her work, and she has successfully steamed 5,500 miles. She has operated in foreign ports as she was designed to do, from hospital, to the distilling plant, to the cargo booms and the storerooms and galleys. She did this because the people embarked in SANCTUARY did their jobs with sincerity and professionalism. Well done to all of you for a successful year of 1973, and best wishes to everyone for a happy 1974. When we reach lVlayport on Friday our Christmas leave period will begin. l wish all of you a Happy Christmas with your families and loved ones, hopefully made even richer and more meaningful because you have just returned from a mission whose purpose was to foster Peace on Earth and Goodwill to lVlen. Sincerely yours, Thomas A. Rodgers, Captain, U.S. Navy Commanding Officer W 119
