<p>Hello I hope this is not considered off topic and I hope my son doesn't mind me sharing his story of what happened to him today. </p>

<p>He was taking a quiet break somewhere on campus when a woman approached him asking him if he could help serve at an allumni function. </p>

<p>Happy to help out he found himself setting up chairs at a function and then helping serve at this function. </p>

<p>He met many very interesting allumni who have served their country. </p>

<p>The adress at this function was on a bill that is designed to give a long overdue thank you to the Merchant Mariners who served in WW II</p>

<p>Please read the information at this website and if you too feel so moved to show that Americans valued their contribution, write your congressman. </p>

<p>Thanks, </p>

<p>Thats awesome KP10sMOM. You just never know what your kid will end up doing or who they will meet at the academy. What a neat experience. I'm onboard with this one. Our merchant mariners are such heroes and have been so forgotten..... Thanks so much for passing this along. Thanks KP10 too!</p>
