Veteran, U. S. Submarine

U. S. SUBMARINE VETERAN -  The United States Submarine Veterans, Inc. (USSVI) was created by a group of men from the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II.  They shared a belief in the need of an organization open to all United States Navy submariners, from the very beginning of the Submarine Service to the present and into the future - not limited to just those who served so ably in World War II.  They wanted to ensure their shipmates who were killed in action on submarines would never be forgotten.
