The Maritime Administration is
required to review requests for medals and awards from merchant
mariners for the periods of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Operations
Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi
Freedom.

and Medals Act
This information collection has
decreased as last reported in 2011. The number of World War II
merchant marine veterans are rapidly declining. However, there are
many family members who contact the Maritime Administration while
doing genealogy research on their relatives. With various websites
available, the public has been able to retrieve information
directly without contacting MARAD.
