• The overwhelming response to this drive has been most gratifying
to me, as X am sure it is to each of you. Th-.o generosity of all hands
is a true indication of the gratitude v;e all feel toward these men who
gave their lives in the service of thoir country.
Your contributions have been sent to the Thresher Memorial
Committee which has been established, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, This
committee will set up an educational endowment fund for dependents of
all who perished on the Thresher and will also erect a physical memorial
if funds permit.
Well done
