3. Glynn County War Memorial Marker - Merchant Marine
Between January and May 1942, 82 American vessels hauling badly needed war supplies were sunk by German submarines, often close to the U.S. coast -- including six off Georgia and Florida. Killed were hundreds of merchant seamen, civilians who didn't get veteran status until 1988.
