The U.S. Merchant Marine very much was part of the Sept. 2 ceremony in our nation’s capital marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Coordinated by the Friends of the National World War II Memorial and the National Park Service, the solemn gathering took place at the National World War II Memorial. Dave Yoho, a World War II mariner, was a featured speaker, and one of the wreaths honored the U.S. Merchant Marine. World War II veterans placed wreaths at the Freedom Wall, paying tribute to their fallen brothers and sisters. Many thanks to retired SIU Recertified Bosun Dan Marcus for the wreath photo shown here.
