Current memorials campaigns
USS Chicago Base of USSVI is currently raising funds to build a Manitowoc Submarines Memorial in Ottawa, IL.
The Lehigh Valley Base of USSVI is currently raising funds to rebuild the World War II Submarine Memorial that was dismantled then the Naval Reserve Center was shut down last year.
The Gold Country Base is currently raising funds to purchase memorial bricks for all their members who have departed on Eternal Patrol.
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.
