USSVI's Memorial Fund 


















USSVI Charitable Foundation website


The US Submarine Veterans' Charitable Foundation established the Memorials Fund to act as a tax deductible means to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of submarine related memorials, Many of these existing memorial sites were originally constructed, repaired and maintained by SubVets of WWII, but most are being turned over to the USSVI Base volunteers that devote their precious spare time to insure the presentability of our heritage. In addition, USSVI is building additional memorials and some bases carry our maintenance work on USN Museum Submarines. Click on the Museum Submarine Link for more information on that program.
