Within these pages are snapshots of time. Captured in these snapshots are just some of the many officers and crewmen, who are part of the history of the DD950. They are seen at work and at play, at peace, and at war.

Memories, live here. There is happiness and sadness in these images. But most of all there is pride. The pride that comes from serving as a part of a well honed unit. The pride that comes when one knows in thier heart that they, regardless of thier personal feelings, served thier country, and are deserving of it's glory and freedoms.
