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.

Good evening, blueunicorn6...so true about how dangerous their job was, and they weren't very well protected at all.

It WAS a blunder for sure.
