Thank You for choosing to support for the USSVCF 501(c)3 - 2026 USSVI National Convention in Corpus Christi, Texas

Your tax deductible 501(c)3 contribution made possible by our Charitable Foundation (USSVCF) will help us continue this annual event and help make it more economically available to all of our members.  The 2026 United States Submarine Veterans, Inc. National Convention which will be held in Corpus Christi, Texas is an event for Submariners of all eras and positions.  Submariners and their guests from around the country attend.  Donations will all go towards the various logistics involved in conducting a large event of this size including transportation needs, a large public ceremony called Tolling the Boats onboard the USS Lexington and conducting the business of the organization including business meetings, awards presentations, and swearing in of new national officers.  Some of the funds will also go towards supporting bases around the country with their Kap(SS) 4 Kid(SS) programs for children in hospitals, raising money for the USSVCF Scholarship program, Supporting the Brotherhood Fund and helping maintain and build more memorials across the country.  All of this is in support of the USSVI's Purpose and Creed:

The purpose/creed of USSVI is to perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country that their dedication, deeds, and supreme sacrifice may be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments, and to pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution.

In addition to perpetuating the memory of departed shipmates, USSVI shall provide a way for all submariners to gather for their mutual benefit and enjoyment. Our common heritage as Submariners shall be strengthened by camaraderie. The USSVI supports a strong U.S. Submarine Force.

The organization will engage in various projects and deeds that will bring about the perpetual remembrance of those shipmates who have given the supreme sacrifice. The organization will also endeavor to educate all third parties it comes in contact with about the services our submarine brothers performed and how their sacrifices made possible the freedom and lifestyle we enjoy today."
