Merchant Marine Atlantic War Zone Medal
Awarded to mariners having served in the Atlantic War Zone - including the
North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, Barents Sea, and the Greenland Sea - between December 7, 1941, and November 8, 1945.
Design: The compass rose is traditionally associated with maritime navigation
and the superimposed triangle with duty and service other than in the Armed
Forces. The eagle symbolizes the United States and freedom. The United States Merchant Marine comprises the merchant ships that are used to transport both
imports and exports during peace time and serves as an auxiliary to the United
States Navy during times of war, delivering both troops and supplies to the military,
as well as goods for the welfare of the country, under hazardous conditions, usually by convoy. The Merchant Marine is civilian except in times of war, when they are effectively considered military personnel governed under the provisions of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. A merchant mariner is a seafarer or mariner in the United States Merchant Marine. |
