"The exceptionally noteworthy
service rendered by the military
and civilian personnel of the San
Jacinto Ordinance Depot listed bo
low, during the critical period of
the disaster at Texas City, Texas,
16-20 April, 1947, are deserving of
the highest praise and commenda
tion: Captain John O. Buchanan,
Civil Engineer, and (seventeen
other 'soldiers whose names were
listed in the letter).
Without hesitation, members of
your rescue team voluntarily en
tered the dangerous dock area
shortly after the initial explosion
and installed with speed, skill and
efficiency the equipment which
provided light essential to rescue
operations. ;
During the latter operations,
they rendered invaluable assis
tance in evacuating the injured,
recovering dead bodies, and in the
utilitization of heavy machinery
for clearance operations.
By their courageous conduct,
professional skill, and indefatiga-i
t>le devotion to duty, the afore
mentioned persons rendered a
?reat humanitarian service to the
stricken community, and they con
Save Up To SO Per it.
