1968 - 1969 Leahy Grams

 

Listed are copies of the seven Leahy Grams from the 1968-1969 time period. Together they are a brief outline of the activities of the USS Leahy from re-commissioning with Captain Murray on 04 May 1968 to his departure. Captain William B. Murray, Jr., was relieved by Captain Orlin N. Putman on 23 July 1969.
These copies were distributed to all of the crew and families. The purpose was more than to summarize our experiences but also to encourage the crew to write home to their families and to let the Leahy families remain aware of our activities.
