A word about YOUR national Submarine Veterans Charitable Foundation (USSVCF): Our national goal is to raise $ 10.00 per member per year. This amounts to less than 20 cents per week per member to support the various programs, which include our Scholarship Program, Memorials, Brotherhood, Museum Sub support, and Sub Vet library. Because USSVCF is a IRS 501(c)(3) foundation, donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law and bequests via your will are also appreciated. (Although we hope it will be a very long time before it comes to pass.) Please support our Foundation if you can with a check made to USSVCF and send it to: USSVCF PO Box 3870 Silverdale WA 98383-3870.
