U.S.S. SAINT PAUL CAPTAIN
WRITES JOHN ALSTON’S
MOTHER
Mrs. Alfred Steward has received
the following communication from
Roy A. Gano, captain of the U.S.S.
Saint Paul, on which Mrs. Stewart’s
son, John Alston. FT3, is assigned.
John was not injured in the recent
explosion on the Sant Paul. The letter
states:
"This is my second letter to you
and I bring good news.
"The Saint Paul will soon finish
her mission in Korean waters. The
’Fighting Saint’ a> a member of the
United Nations Forces lias taken
part in the over-all conflict by sup-
porting friendly ground forces with
our guns; by providing anti-aircrat
protection for our aircraft carriers
and by destroying enemy equipment,
supplies and troops ashore. We have
acted as a hospital ship for men
wounded on other ships or ashore and
have rescued aviators by means of
our helicopter. You shall probably
hear more of what we have done
from your son when he comes home.
"At the present time, it is expected
that the Saint Paul will arrive in
Long Beach. California sometime
late in June. As much leave as pos-
sible will be given to the men upon
our arrival. Some will go on leave
immediately, many others will have
to wait their turn.
The ship expects to remain on the
West Coast for about six months.
During that time many men will be
transferred to other duty, some will
be sent to school and will return to
the ship later. Others will be discharg-
ed and some reservists will be return-
ed to inactive duty. Upon arrival in
Long Beach. I shall be relieved as
Commanding Officer and will be as-
signed to overseas duty. As a good
and faithful friend a> well a- many
individual friends made on board
these months.
"1 ant proud of the opportunity to
have served with your son. He and
each and every other man have con-
tributed materially to the Saint Paul's
part in aiding the Navy to accomplish
it’s mission which is to keep our
country safe from it’s enemies.
“The Saint Paul has been a hap-
py ship and I know that morale is
high. The Navy tries to provide a
healthy, moral, intellectual and social
environment in which all will be
proud and happy to serve. Your
son will be proud of the Navy, the
Saint Paul and the uniform he wears.
I feel sure that you will find hint to
be a better citizen for his service
in the Navy.
"To you, the parents of the men,
I wish to extend my sincere thanks
for your understanding and coopera-
tion. Your cheerful letters to your
son have made the Second Korean
Cruise of the Saint Paul a most suc-
cessful and happy one. I wish you a
happy reunion with your son.
"Yours sincerely.
"ROY A. GANO, Captain.”
