Served on board from 1971 to 1972 as a SM2. Just after Christmas 1972 I started back to Long Beach and discharge. Had some great shipmates on the Jolly Holly. Certainly remember Aug 9 72 and the 3 ship attack on North Viet Nam...I was a phone talker assigned to the Captain. That was wild. Would love to hear from anyone on board then.

My brother Theodore Gramlich served aboard the USS Hollister during the Korean war. He later became a catholic priest and passed away very young. He loved the navy.

I served on board this vessel ( 1978-1979 ) proudly to defend my country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Any one who tries to deny this fact is a traitor and deserves death. God bless America. My country that I risked my life for. I still love America even though i have been discriminated against,abused,taken advantage of and even physically injured by other american citizens. And anyone who tries to deny me of this honor should be placed before a firing squad. God bless America! God bless my girlfriend!!! To me she is America.

Presently residing in Eastvale, CA Between Ontario and Corona. I was on The Happy Holly-maru homeported out of Yokosuka Japan during 1966-1968 as a Radarman. I was a 2nd Class aboard and was part of the team that helped produce "DD Oversea" a cruise book about the men of the USS Hollister DD788. I only have my copy of that cruise book and a copy of the cruise book for USS Henry W. Tucker DD875 where I went after leaving The Hollister.
