Only Merchant Marine item I have. pretty interesting the only belt that is militaria related I own
The buckle really pops on this

I live the other way in the mean streets of CT prob 12 miles as the crow flies. Its actually a really cool place if you get to go. Most people don't even know its there, its hard to blame them when part i tucked under the Throgs Neck Bridge. Lots to do there decent football games small museum. If you like watch cadets doing drill that is there also.
