My grandfather just passed recently so I was trying to find out some info on his WW2 service in the merchant marines. So far I cant find any archives that have anything on him. I'm happy to do the work, just wondering if maybe y'all knew of any websites or archives I could try. Again, sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.
