Our Mission
The Marine Corps Veterans Association serves Marines current and past, those who survived and those who did not, those still injured and those doing well. We look out for our Marines, and we remind all Americans to honor the awesome sacrifices Marines made for them.
Our Work
The MCVA is proud of our successful program of assisting fellow Marines. We donate and provide wheelchairs and other vital hospital equipment to VA hospitals, provide financial aid to needy Marines and Navy Corpsmen, and aid the families of those Marines suffering traumatic brain injuries from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We are also proud to sponsor Wednesday night family dinners for the polytrauma patients and their families at the Palo Alto Veterans Hospital, many of whom were injured while recently serving.
In addition, we sponsor Wellness Center memberships for our returning veterans at the Pathway Home Veterans Facility at Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa.
This program is endorsed by the Veterans Home of Yountville, California. It is a short-term fix program (60 to 90 days) dedicated to supporting veterans in returning home and/or preparing for future deployments. The program focuses on coping, mental issues, and physical injuries. Patients with the most severe injuries receive regular physical therapy while at the facility.
We also provide Leatherneck and Marine Corps Gazette magazines to convalescing Soldiers and Marines at veterans hospitals all over the world throughout the year. We have been a major financial contributor to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund located at Camp Pendleton, California.
