wear for my father. Too young for the Navy, he shipped out with the Merchant Marine at seventeen, doing thankless work with no hope of escape in an emergency. This branch took the highest percentage of casualties, knowing they were sitting ducks with no way to get the other guy, and any second might mean a torpedo. Daddy talked about sailing oilers in the South Seas so
overloaded the catwalks were awash. Back home, no recognition, no benefits.
Too late for most they finally got Veteran status, and Daddy has a service
headstone, but he's shut out of "for those in peril on the sea". If anyone knows of an appropriate tartan, I'd be grateful.
Granted this is for the Academy -
