American Merchant Marine at War
Dedicated to the Mariners who died in service of their country during all Wars,
including Revolutionary War, World War II, Korea, Vietnam; and their U.S. Naval
Armed Guard shipmates

"[Mariners] have written one of its most brilliant chapters. They have delivered
the goods when and where needed in every theater of operations and across every
ocean in the biggest, the most difficult and dangerous job ever undertaken. As
time goes on, there will be greater public understanding of our merchant's fleet
record during this war [World War II]."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt
