Re: Varen in oorlogstijd
Kan iemand mij uitleggen waarom de door mij geplaatste afbeeldingen op pagina
45 & 46 NIET zichtbaar zijn, maar de linken wel?
Op pagina 44 en voorgaande zijn de afbeeldingen WEL zichtbaar.
Ook in andere topics zijn de afbeeldingen WEL zichtbaar.
Probeer het in het volgende bericht weer.

Jos, je bent in één woord GEWELDIG.
Als we jou niet hadden en de voordeur niet, dan moesten we altijd door de achterdeur.

Eerst wachten tot ze vrijwel allemaal zijn overleden en DAN worden het plotseling " heroes" en gaan we "ze" wat betalen!!!
De casualty rate was ook daar kennelijk hoger dan bij de militairen, klinkt mij " NET als in nederland" in de oren
Bill Proposed to Repay WWII Merchant Mariners
Congresswoman Janice Hahn (Calif.) and Congressman John Duncan Jr. (Tenn.) introduced the “Honoring Our WWII Merchant Mariners Act of 2015,” which would provide a modest benefit to surviving Merchant Marines who served during World War II. More than 200,000 Americans served in the U.S. Merchant Marines and aided military efforts in both Europe and the Pacific during World War II. Thousands of Merchant Mariners faced enemy attack and died at sea while hundreds more were captured and held as prisoners of war. Despite having the highest casualty rate of any U.S. service during the war, they were not eligible to receive veteran’s benefits.
“The veterans of the Merchant Marine risked their lives in the service of this nation, but we have never properly thanked them,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “Let us finally right this wrong and repay our debt of gratitude owed to these heroes.”
The legislation would provide a one-time lump sum of $25,000 to each of surviving WWII Merchant Marines. As many of these veterans are now well into their 90s, and fewer than five thousand Merchant Mariners who served in World War II are alive, the Congresswoman stressed the importance of passing this bill as quickly as possible. “So few of these Merchant Mariners are with us today,” noted Congresswoman Hahn. “Time is running out to thank them properly, and I encourage my colleagues to act quickly in cosponsoring and passing this important legislation.”
Congressman Duncan said, “I have helped thousands of Veterans and those on active duty and have great respect for them. The word 'hero' is tossed around too lightly today, but I think anyone who puts their life on the line for their country deserves that description. Although the Merchant Marines were not formally recognized as Veterans, they are very patriotic and brave Americans whose sacrifice for our Nation cannot be repaid.” Source : Marinelink

Zonder de inspanning van Rosie The Riveter en al haar medewerkers in de U.S.A. zou er in WW2 toch maar verrekt weinig gevaren zijn. Rosie is recent overleden en ik wou hier toch maar even voor haar en al haar collega's die haar voorgingen "aan de pet tikken", mede namens hen die dit zelf niet meer kunnen doen!
