Sjømannsprest i Baltimore, Dag Mysen, skriver 10. juli 1980 i brev til Direktoratet for sjømenn: "Han ble født i Wisconsin, USA, i 1906. Ettersom begge foreldrene var norske, tok moren med seg gutten sin til Norge i 1908 etter farens altfor tidlige død. Henry Lien (Lee) vokste opp i Norge og bodde der som norsk statsborger til krigen kom. I 1944 søkte han om amerikansk statsborgerskap, og fikk det uten vansker siden han er født her. Han fikk jobb i den amerikanske kystvakten."

    Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
