Dedicated to the American Merchant Seamen who, in times of national crisis, have rallied to battle enemy mines, submarines and planes while building a 'steel bridge' of supplies across the seas to our troops and their allies. In World War II there were 731 merchant ships sunk by enemy action with 6,839 merchant mariners and over 1,800 Navy Armed Guard killed or missing from relatively small forces. May their Supreme Being bless, care for and comfort them!
