    		It may be "In peace and war" as that is on the flag.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marines



    "We Deliver the Goods" was their motto for the duration of the war. President Roosevelt, along with many military leaders, praised the role of the U.S. Merchant Marine deeming them the "Fourth Arm of defense."

    		The academy is "Acta non verba" - "Deeds, not words".

    Captain Kenneth Force of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy truly lives the Academy’s motto, "Acta Non Verba," Deeds, Not Words.

    Each of the quiz questions is answered by naming two states and putting 'and' between them: for example, California and Oregon. I was amazed at how rusty my state geography was. How's yours?
