Additional Comments:
General Vandegrift pointed out how the Marine Corps has been aided in its 
invasions by the Merchant Marine in saying: 

"The men and ships of the Merchant Marine have participated in every landing 
operation by the United States Marine Corps from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima -- and 
we know they will be at hand with supplies and equipment when American 
amphibious forces hit the beaches of Japan itself. On Maritime Day, we of the 
Marine corps salute the men of the merchant fleet."
