This truly touched my heart. My Dad was a Mariner from 1936 till 1952. He served during WW2 and I'm thankful that he made it back home... so many did not. GOD BLESS YOU ALL who worked to make this moment possible and the USMM is finally getting the recognition that they so justly deserve!! I wish my Dad was still alive to witness it.

Well done and thank you for presenting this, long time coming and way overdue for the recognition of the US Merchant Marine!! HEAVE HO, HEAVE HO!!
Wonderful ceremony! I'm so glad to see all of it here.
My Dad was a Merchant Marine in WWII. Died in 1996, but I know he’s smiling down today seeing this memorial dedication! 😢🇺🇸😢❤️
