The Merchant Mariners of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2020

     



      In March, 2020, President Trump signed the Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2020, which recognizes the invaluable contribution that Merchant Mariners made in World War II.  Since Dad, Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, was a merchant mariner, radio operator, from age sixteen onward, he would have been most proud of this.
