About MCVA
Who We Are
The Marine Corps Veterans Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of United States Marines — past, present, and future.
Our Mission
Preserving the Legacy of the Corps
The Marine Corps Veterans Association was founded to preserve the proud traditions of the United States Marine Corps, to support our veterans and their families, and to foster the bonds of brotherhood among those who have served. We serve Marines current and past — those who survived and those who did not, those still injured and those doing well.
Brotherhood
The bonds forged in service last a lifetime. MCVA keeps that brotherhood alive through fellowship, events, and mutual support.
Honor
We honor the service and sacrifice of every Marine — through ceremonies, memorial honors, and community recognition.
Service
Our mission does not end at discharge. MCVA members continue to serve their communities and fellow veterans every day.
Commitment
From color guard ceremonies to charitable giving, MCVA members are committed to making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families.
Our History
A Legacy of Service
The Marine Corps Veterans Association was founded in 2007 and registered as a 501(c)(19) nonprofit war veterans' organization with the primary purpose of offering assistance to Marines and Navy Corpsmen and their families, including active duty, former, retired, disabled and injured. The organization's mission is to provide recognition, honor, aid and assistance to all Marines and Corpsmen, and their families, as well as assisting, providing recognition and honoring other members of the Armed Forces of the United States, and their families, as a patriotic mission to benefit active duty members, as well as veterans, of the Armed Forces. Regular membership is open to Marines and Navy Corpsmen (Fleet Marine Force) with honorable service. For specific membership requirements, contact us.
