Thanks for the responses guys!

C.Evans: Wow your Grandfather was a Merchant Marine Captain! Those guys did an amzing job! I don't believe they are given enough recognition for what they did.

Lord Lovat: I have noticed that people also do not give enough credit to the Western Allies- Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The Merchant Marines, who brought the Lend-Lease to Russia, should be recognized more. So, the Western Allies were doing there part while Russia and Germany were going at it!
