The Merchant Marine Legacy:

On March 15, 1938, the Merchant Marine Cadet Corps was established, formalizing a maritime tradition that traces back to the colonial era. America's Merchant Marines first entered combat during the Revolutionary War and have served with distinction in every conflict since.

Peace and War Mission:

In peacetime, Merchant Marines transport cargo and passengers, sustaining global commerce and American economic strength. In times of war, they are called upon to deliver troops, equipment, and supplies wherever needed—often sailing into harm's way to support military operations. This dual mission of "Peace and War" defines the unique and essential role of the U.S. Merchant Marine.

From World War II's Liberty Ships to modern container vessels, Merchant Mariners have demonstrated courage, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to keeping America's supply lines open in the most challenging conditions.

• U.S. Merchant Marine veterans and active mariners
• Maritime academy graduates and cadets
