The United States will commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the Korean War in 2003. The Department of Defense has established a
Commemorative Committee to develop plans, programs, and information from all service
branches to assure that the those Americans who served in that conflict will be
appropriately honored. The Committee has asked the Maritime
Administration (MARAD) to provide information on the role of the American merchant marine
and the mariners who served in that conflict. The agency has undertaken research of
its historic records and documents available on the role of the merchant marine during the
conflict to help ensure that a complete and accurate record is available.
We invite anyone with information, photographs or
memorabilia to share it. We are also interested in oral and written accounts
of incidents recalled from that war. Your assistance will help us develop an accurate,
historic account that recognizes and honors the importance of the U.S. merchant marine and
the mariners who served in the finest traditions of the sea.
Any photographs or historic accounts will be used to increase the
public's awareness of the important role played by the American maritime industry during
this conflict, as well as its current and future importance to the Nation's economic and
national security.
MARAD will require your permission to use the materials submitted
on this web site, its publications, and in its exhibits program. Unless otherwise
indicated, the Agency will presume copyright authorization for the use of materials
submitted, except when noted differently. The Agency will obtain copyright permission. |
