Letter written to Sid Foster
Dear Sid;
I served on the SALT LAKE CITY for two days in 1942. I was picked out of the Coral Sea by the USS DUNCAN, the next day I was transferred to the SALT LAKE CITY. I would like to find two guys I went though boots with and met them again on the SLC. Their names were
"Moch"& "Ness" [neither name listed in roster], home towns in Fargo or Devils Lake, ND.

The USS Salt Lake City CA25 by 
Myron Varland

Her guns are trained in and silent- She is out of action for now, But Men are working night and day- To put on Her emergency bow. But this old game ain't over- We've still got to pull Her through, But when we get her in the yard- She'll get the credit that's due. There has been three surface battles- Where she sunk a score of ships, She has been in action eight times- Against those yellow Nips There seems to be a nervous strain- The crew talks with a different tone, Their minds are running in circles- My God; We're going home. But with our fleets expansion- Our crew will break up we know, We've been through it all together- It will be pretty hard to go. But when she's back in action- No matter what she goes through, She'll always have the markings of- Captain Rodgers and his fighting crew. |
