I am 3d Generation military and all three generations have served in Combat. Gramps of course served in WW2, my father John P Gaffney served in Vietnam and I served in Iraq. Gramps would be pleased to know that the men he served with and the ship he loved are still remembered. |

| Message | My Dad, Pfc. Chet Randolph (4 Bronze Stars), landed with the 40th. Infantry Division on the Island of Luzon during the liberation of the Philippines on January 9, 1945. The USS Randolph was in the Pacific during that time. How ironic and how proud I am. |

| Message | I served aboard the Randolph in 1956 & 57.. I was an AO3 assigned to the V-5 division. I came aboard the Randolph in Cannes, France during the 1956 Med Cruise. I have to admit that coming aboard the Randolph in Cannes, France at 19 years old was a great experience for me. I miss the Navy and often wish I would have made it my career. I will be attending the 2008 reunion in hopes of seeing some familiar faces. |

| Message | My father Captain Harry E. Cook, Jr. commanded the USS Randolph at the time of the collision in 1961 and the recovery of Gus Grissom. He died in 1992. I remember stories, but of course only you who were there can tell the tale of The USS Randolph. The web-site is excellent and if I find items from my fathers time I will send them along. |

| Message | I recently found the "Randoo Candoo's" website and the memories came back to me. I was aboard the last part of 1965 through mid-1968. I came aboard as an IC-3 assigned to E dvision. I was later transferred to V-2 as an IC-2 working in the fresnel lens--the meatball--room. I want to give a shout to all my buddies in E and V-2. I got out in 1968 and kept up with the news of the Randolph. I remember the last cruise and the hurricane force winds--water going over the island. It was a bit scary with bulkheads groaning and creaking. I later found out she was doomed for scrap...and that was a sad moment for me. |

| Message | My grandfather, John Henry Hillebrand, served on the Randolph in WWII. He used to tell me stories about his time on the ship and of him and his war buddies. He passed away a little over a year ago in the spring of 2007. He was a good man and I wish to honor his memory. |
