I . I LT. COMMANDER T. O. MARSHALL, Ir. The present Executive Officer of the SHEA is Lieutenant Commander Thomas O. Marshall, Ir., U. S. Navy, of Americus, Georgia.

For this feat he was recommended for the Silver Star Medal. ik ii? 'ik MESSAGE TO MEN or THE si-IEA: ln the life of every man there are a few high points which he likes to remember always. Such a point in my life was the period which I spent as Gunnery Officer of the SHEA during the occupation of Okinawa in the spring of 1945. During that trying ordeal, when the desperate Iap was lashing out with his fanatical Kamikazes, the men of the SHEA stood to their guns, smashed his planes, and finally took the worst he could give - and came back. Your spirit, courage, and teamwork was in the best tradition of this great nation of ours, And, I shall allways believe that we would have shot down the BAKA, too, if it had not been hidden by the smoke.

Reported Iune 1944 to CFO SHEA. TO THE MEN OF THE SHEA A ship is fabricated with steel plate and rivets and cable. But as the cold metal is reworked in the crucible of battle with the sweat and blood of the men who fight her, the ship is transformed by strange alchemy into a living, pulsing being with a soul and character of her own. I feel a part of the SHEA, and know she forms part of me. To the brave shipmates who died defending their country, to the officers and men who will carry on the splendid spirit and record of a splendid ship, I offer a respectful and affection- ate salute and sincere wish for Godspeed , -I 9 I--
