[Neil E. Wright]

VetsCoR has long recognized the contributions made to National Defense by the U.S. Merchant Marine, not just in WWII, but also in Korea and VietNam to the present day. Indeed, members of the Merchant Marine have acquitted themselves with HONOR in every conflict in which this country has fought to defend the FREEDOM and LIBERTY that is the birthright of EVERY HUMAN BEING on the planet, from the Revolutionary War to the present day conflicts to bring the same FREEDOM and LIBERTY to the oppressed in the Middle East.

At our website, Portraits of FREEDOM, we state: "Honoring the men and women of our Armed Forces and Merchant Marine, past and present. Heroes ALL." There is a separate listing for those who wish to honor their relatives or friends who have served in the U.S.M.M. with a page.

At VetsCoR, we SALUTE the service and SACRIFICE of the U.S. Merchant Marine members who have gone into harms way, usually unarmed and unable to shoot back when fired upon, to keep the the front line troops supplied with "beans and bullets".
