They served without recognition. They sacrificed without medals. They are the forgotten force that kept nations moving through war, peace, and crisis.
In No Medals, No Glory, Dominick Leon brings to light the incredible-and often invisible-legacy of the U.S. Merchant Marine. From the torpedo-ridden waters of World War I and II to modern piracy and global supply chain dangers, this book chronicles the courage, resilience, and dignity of those who carried the weight of the world across oceans.
Told through historical accounts, real-life stories, and personal reflections, this documentary-style narrative shines a light on the men and women who kept nations alive-without fanfare, without headlines, and too often, without thanks.
If you've never heard their story, it's time you did.
