NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF RECOGNITION FOR VETERANS STATUS TO WWII COASTWISE MERCHANT MARINERS Findings 1: Some US Merchant Marine Seamen of WWII gained veteran status under a court ruling via Schmacher, Willner, et al, V. Secretary of the Air Force Edward C. Aldridge, Jr 665 F Supp 41 (D.D.C. 1987). The USCG later required they meet certain eligibility requirements. Findings 2: Some 10,000 to 30,000 coastwise seagoing tug. and barge merchant seamen have been or may be denied recognition upon application because actions taken by government agencies (prior to P. L. 95 -202) have removed required eligibility records from being available to the veteran. Findings 3: Commandant, USCG Ltr 5739 Ltr of 09 Apr 2010 states, "The US Government did not issue mariner credentials to females during the World War II." Findings 4: USCG Information Sheet #77 (April 1992) identifies acceptable forms of documentation for eligibility meeting the requirements pursuant to Schmacher V. Aldridge, 655 41(D.D.C. 1987): a. Certificate of Discharge (Form 718A) b. Continuous Discharge Books (ship's deck/engine logbooks -- non - military document) c. Company letters showing vessel names and dates of voyages (non - military document) Findings 5: Commandant USCG Order of 20 March, 1944 relieves masters of tugs, towboats and seagoing barges of the responsibility of submitting reports of seamen shipped or discharged on forms 718A. This action removes item (a) from the eligibility list in Findings 4. Findings 6: USCG Information Sheet #77 (April, 1992) further states "Deck logs were traditionally considered to be the property of the owners of the ships. After World War II, however, the deck and engine logbooks of vessels operated by the War Shipping Administration were turned over to that agency by the ship owners, and were destroyed during the 1970s because they were too burdensome to keep and too costly to maintain." This action effectively eliminates item (b) from the eligibility list in Findings 4. Findings 7: Company letters showing vessel names and dates of voyages are highly suspect of ever existing due to the strict orders prohibiting even the discussion of ship /troop movement. Then consider item (c) of Findings 4 should be removed from the eligibility list. USCG Info Sheet #77, page 2 refers. Findings 8: Excerpts from President Roosevelt's fireside Chat 23: On the Home Front (Oct. 12, 1942): "In order to keep stepping up our production, we have had to add millions of workers to the total labor force of the Nation. "In order to do this, we shall be compelled to use older men and handicapped people, and more women, and even grown boys and girls, wherever possible and reasonable, to replace men of military age and fitness; to use their summer vacations, to work somewhere in the war industries." Underage combatants had served in all of America's wars from the time of the Revolution. The unknown number who served in the Second World War perpetuated that legacy. They served with distinction and valor, and indisputably demonstrated that, despite their age, they could serve as well as those around them. Findings 9: Post the Revolutionary War; many Acts of Congress were enacted to provide pensions to those veterans applying for support. Thousands of servicemen were without documented service and remained without any viable means to prove service. Excerpts from documents retained at the NARA provide: Generally the Process required an applicant to appear before a court of record in the State of his or her residence to describe under oath the service for which a pension was claimed. This establishes precedence for using certified oaths in conjunction with the Social Security documents as alternative documentation. Findings (10): USCG Official Shipping/Discharge documents (Forms 718A) were obtained from the National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC that contained information proving Active Duty (AD) services for some WWII coastwise barge and tug Mariners. Together with information obtained via a FOIA request to the National Maritime Center, research brought forth additional information. Research conducted between June - August 2013, in concert with the NMC, using official records of 1172 coastwise mariners and the USCG Merchant Marine Casualties of WWII report of 1950 identified: WWII Coastwise Mariners Listing: Excel Sheet #1 1172 Mariners identified via official USCG Shipping/Discharge Forms 718A 84 Mariners may be women according to their feminine sounding names; OR 7.2% 1058 Mariners' ages were specified. Ages ranged from 10 to 78 583 Mariners identified within draft age and included those in 4F status; OR 5 5. 1 % of known ages 525 Mariners identified at over the draft age of 37; OR 49.6% of known ages 114 Mariners with age not specified; OR 09.7% 47 Mariners who served were under the age of 17; OR 4.4% of known ages 16 Mariners KIA with 1 receiving DD Form 1300 National Maritime Form DD 214 Listing: Excel Sheet #2 794 Mariners were identified on NMC Coastwise Mariners listing identifying Active Duty services 291 Mariners on NMC listing had no USCG MMLD numbers listed; OR 36.6% 85 Mariners issued DD Form 214 from NMC listing, OR 10.7% of NMC; OR 7.2% of WWII CMM Merchant Marine KIA & MIA Casualties from all causes = 9521 * (usmm.org) 5662 Mariner Casualties from USCG per 1950 Report * (USCG 1950 casualty report) 3859 Mariner Casualties from Other Sources * (Additional sources = Art. Moore and US Congress) Merchant Marine Casualties recognized by all sources = 414 344 Mariner Casualties from USCG 1950 Casualty Report * (USCG 1950 casualty report) 70 Mariner Casualties from NMC report & not listed on USCG 1950 Casualty List (NMC DD 1300 Report) 1 Mariner in NMC DD 1300 files as having received Form DD 1300 yet 16 identified on WWII CM listing Rationale: 9521 Merchant Mariners KIA or MIA serving and only 414 receiving Veteran status. Findings 11: The USCG cannot provide a true estimate of merchant mariners serving in WWII. GAO/HEHS- 97 -196R refers. Estimates range from 250,000 to 840,000 from recognized historians and GAO audit. None of these historians were aware of these 10,000 to 30,000 coastwise merchant seamen where many served without proper credentials and were not included in above estimates. Some were elderly and handicapped; others women and some were school children who served in billets, drew wages and paid taxes. They served on the same vessels in the same hostile war zones and performed the same services alongside others who were documented. Yet, only about 91,000 merchant mariners have been recognized as veterans with iust 1192 of these veterans in receipt of compensation or pension benefits the VA refers. This is a vast disparity in ratio of the other service branches. Findings 12: DOD and NARA Agreement N1- 330 -04 -1 of Jul, 08, 2004 puts in place a procedure to transfer military personnel files of individuals from all services, (including civilian personnel or contractual groups who were later accorded military status under the provisions of Schmacher, Willner, et al, V. Secretary of the Air Force Edward C. Aldridge, Jr 665 F Supp 41 (D.D.C. 1987). This agreement affects military personnel records of individuals 62 years after separation from service. Action has taken place for all except the US Merchant Marine IAW above stated court order. This inaction by the Department of Homeland Security via (COMDT USCG) has caused many of the mariners to have gone unrecognized for their services. Many seafarers have passed without ever gaining recognition or benefits and soon all will be History. National Personnel Records Center estimate there are between 1400 to 2500 Cubic feet of Shipping /Discharge documents being stored at the NARA district offices and NMC yet to be transferred to the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. NMC cites about 91,000 out of 250,000 to 840,000 have ever received recognition as veterans; and, with many unable to gain access because of age and health condition requiring assistance from others outside family. Had compliance taken place, these records would have been available to all and providing the mariner a chance to being recognized many years ago and enjoying the benefits awarded to them via court order. WHEREAS, (1) By court order, Schumacher v. Aldridge 665 F Supp 41 (D.D.C. 1987) provided for veteran status to certain US Merchant Marine seamen during WWII (07 December, 1941 to 31 December, 1946) with the same benefits accorded all veterans as administrated by the Veterans Administration. There were no provisions for the elderly, handicapped, women or school children to even be considered for their services as mariners serving anywhere within the US Merchant Marine providing an avenue to veteran status; and WHEREAS, (2) The USCG Information Sheet #77 of Apr. 1992 identifies specific criteria to be used to prove active duty performed by an individual seaman for the purpose of attaining veteran status and findings (5), (6) & (7) identified specific official government actions that removed these particular documents from the reach of the mariner. This clearly identifies the requirement to put in place a method of utilizing alternative documentation and other approved methods to replace specific documents removed from use by the government actions cited elsewhere in this document; and WHEREAS, (3) Women were removed from ships at the onset of WWII and not allowed to serve in any capacity by direction of the War Shipping Administrator, Admiral Emory S. Land. The Captains of the Ports (USCG COTP) were given specific directions to deny official USCG maritime credentials to any woman requesting them. They served but without official credentials in every capacity on most vessels. Families were the sole crew on many barges throughout the WWII and afterwards. Companies welcomed this arrangement because critical crew replacements were reduced considerably. This allowed those barges to move the bulk war materials more quickly and freed the more able bodied seaman to man the larger seagoing ships taking vital supplies to troops on all the fronts, keeping the enemy from our doors. A win win situation vital to war defense. To date there is no law or other avenue recognizing women as veterans of the US Merchant Marine during WWII; and WHEREAS, (4) President Roosevelt's speech of 12 Oct, 1942 puts in Place the use of elderly and handicapped individuals, school children and women in an effort to support war efforts by replacing men of military age and fitness, and in stepping up our production of war materials for those on the front lines. Because of this speech, women, the elderly, disabled and school children entered the varied war defense plant services in droves and many found their way into the coastwise barge and tug trades as well; and WHEREAS, (5) DOD & NARA Agreement NI- 330 -04 -1 of July 08, 2004 provides for the transfer of military records to the National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, MO for use as archival records, open to the public. But inaction by the DHS for the mariner in over 10 years has caused the veteran loss of due access of his records that may have accorded him recognition as a veteran. Recommend Congressional inquiry into delay of WWII Merchant Mariners personnel records; and WHEREAS, (6) Previously attempted bills, HR 1288 and 5 -1361, would have provided for alternative records to be used in place of records lost, destroyed or denied for coastwise seamen affected; and allowed women and school children be recognized for their services rendered for the first time ever. There are no laws in place to allow for resolution of this issue; and WHEREAS, (7) The elderly, disabled, children and women have served in every war this nation has ever known. Most have served without recognition but history is replete with actions of young children stepping up to serve, some receiving our highest honors and others serving in our highest ranks of service, congress and the presidency; e.g. President Andrew Jackson (age 13); America's first Admiral, David Glasgow Farragut was appointed a midshipman at (age 9) by President James Madison; Willie Johnson (age 11) was recipient of the Medal of Honor; Albert Cohen of Memphis TN who enlisted at age 11 & KIA age 15. History is filled with children defending this nation and Coastwise Mariners had their fair share of them. Findings #9 & #10 provide support info; and WHEREAS, (8) Although they served gallantly and with honor, actions taken against those that were elderly and disabled, school children and women by denying them official credentials during WWII is considered discrimination today; and WHEREAS, (9) The process used to determine whether an individual performed service under honorable conditions that satisfies the requirements of a coastwise merchant seamen who is recognized as having performed active duty service under the court ruling via Schmacher, Willner, et al, V. Secretary of the Air Force Edward C. Aldridge Jr 665 f Supp 41 (D.D.C.1987). There are no considerations in any existing legislation that provides for women who served, under aged school children or elderly and handicapped seaman any avenue to attain veteran status. Nor is there a current avenue to use alternative methods of recognition or other actions that have proved effective in past wars for use in lieu of documents that were denied and/or destroyed by several specific official government actions. The following actions are recommended: (1) Initiate congressional actions to: Provide sufficient response to support Merchant Mariners' provisions of HR 1288 (with wording intact to insure all coastwise barge and tugboat mariners who served during WWII (regardless of age, gender or disability) are recognized as veterans in accordance with or similar to: court ruling via Schmacher, Willner, et al, V. Secretary of the Air Force Edward C. Aldridge, Jr 665 F Supp 41 (D.D.C. 1987, granting veterans status). (2) Initiate congressional inquiry into: Delay of WWII Merchant Mariners personnel records movement to National Military Personnel Center. (3) Initiate congressional actions to: Recognize WWII Mariners identified as KIA/MIA as Veterans of this Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners hereby supports these efforts on behalf of the World War II Coastwise Merchant Mariners and urges our Representatives in the Senate (Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis) and in the House (Representatives Walter Jones and George K. Butterfield) to fully support and initiate all necessary actions, including full support of HR 1288, "WW II Merchant Mariners Service Act ", to pass legislation approving the above findings and recommendations.
