Alumni of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) have released a video to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the institution and memorialize midshipmen who have died in service to their nation.
Over the summer, the USMMA Alumni Association and Foundation (USMMA-AAF) has been executing a campaign designed to remind the nation how vital the Academy is to both national security and global commerce, and of the importance of maritime security in turbulent times.
“We really hope this anthemic video connects the dots for our fellow citizens,” said Captain James Tobin, President of the USMMA-AAF. “Throughout history, the work, and sacrifices, of our graduates in defending the nation has not been fully understood.”
