This section is Under Construction.

The oral interviews have not all been verified by review from the responders. The stories are the voices of men who wanted to talk about their experiences aboard U.S. Merchant and Naval Ships during WW II. They are privileged statements and are not to be quoted.

There are other sources for quotes from the graduates including:

George J. Billy and Christine M. Billy, Merchant Mariners at War, An Oral History of WW II

Gerald Reminick, Patriots and Heroes, True Stories of the U.S. Merchant Marine in WW II
