A merchant marine sailor looks back

Albert Wilder and his twin brother, Arthur, now age 93, both survived infamous Convoy PQ-17, while on different ships. They went on to long careers as merchant captains. Albert looks back.

I would like to THANK you two brothers for your service as a Merchant Marine during WW II. If you had some of these politicians onboard at the
time, you would have received Veteran's Status
way before 1988 and GI Bill in 1945-46.
Contact me.
