A 5-part mini-series based on the true story of Malta, one the largest Naval convoys in history and how 2 American Merchant Mariners help turn the tide of WW2.
I'd like to thank the American Merchant Marine Veterans for honoring me with the 4th annual Harvey Wichita Award. I'm happy to have done my small part to ensure that World War II Merchant Mariners received the recognition they deserve for their bravery and sacrifice.

I just want to give a big shout to all the brilliant females out there bringing their insight, knowledge and dedication to the study of WWII History.
We get the pressures you face in a largely patriarchal field. We admire your dedication and determination and we have your backs
@AMMWWII Be sure to check out my @YouTube video on Monday for Memorial Day. I will be talking about the US merchant marine in WWI, WWII and Vietnam.

Russia Honoring Remaining WWII Merchant Marine Vets Honored
Winston Churchill described it as the “worst journey in the world,” and two local Merchant Marine veterans in their 90s are among the last left in the U.S. to have endured it. https://t.co/UhZVdnqF7s
Captain Frederick and Minda Larsen, around 1939. Mrs Larsen passed last week, aged 104. She graced the decks of many Graceline and Delta ships. Her strength, gracious heart and enduring spirit will never be forgotten.
A book is in development focusing on Operation Pedestal, we have contributed photos of Fred and Minda Larsen as well as Lonnie Dales. Will update as we know more!
A World War II shipwreck recently located off the coast of Poland may hold the dismantled pieces of the Amber Room, a Russian treasure looted by the Nazis and lost since 1945.https://t.co/JJqd3VggT4
