I am saddened to report that USN Armed Guard veteran Robert K. Mertz of Pennsylvania died on Friday morning, November 7th. Mr. Mertz served aboard the SS Stephen A. Douglas during World War II. He later served aboard LCS 30. Mr. Mertz was very proud of his service in the Armed Guard, and wore a baseball cap with "We Deliver" on it until the last weeks of his life. We are burying him tomorrow in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. He was my stepfather, and my daughter's cherished "Pappy" Mertz.
