Why does USSVI exist? The Three Pillars
1. Remembrance: We remember our departed submariner brothers who honorably served in war and peace. We especially honor those who perished in the great struggle against evil and tyranny in WWII.
2. Fellowship: We meet and participate in group activities to keep alive the spirit and bond of comradeship with our fellow brothers of the dolphin.
3. Compassion: To our brothers we extend a helping hand and words of encouragement or solace when they are needed. Through our Charitable Fund we extend scholarships, maintain memorials, provide holiday meals to young submariner families in need and do other good works as the need and the opportunity arises.
