Why I am doing this.

Being a Life Member of United States Submarine Veterans Inc. carries a certain responsibility.  That is to perform some service in support of the USSVI Creed.  The Creed reads:

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 be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States Government.
