I had an uncle who was in the Merchant Marine in WWII.
That was a really dangerous job.
One of the little known blunders of that war was the number of merchant ships sunk off the East Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico by a few German submarines.
You should be very proud of your uncle’s service during WWII.
I appreciate his service to our nation. Thanks for sharing.
It WAS a blunder for sure.
