The American Merchant Marine Museum has in its collections press photographs of wartime recipients of the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal. Some photos show stalwart widows, and others a smiling Admiral E. S. Land.
These photographs are rough – I had originally taken them to create a list of recipients. Then I discovered after a quick count that the 100 photographs represented only 79 of all those awarded the medal. Since these are not online or available anywhere, here you go.
