What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? The purpose of this Association is to preserve and strengthen the spirit of comradeship among U.S. military veterans who served in the City of Berlin, Germany between 1945 and 1994, and maintain the bond of friendship forged between the U.S. military and the people of Berlin during that period.
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner, describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title.
28 The Berlin U.S. Military Veterans Assoc., Inc., (BUSMVA) shares similar qualities, goals and traits with the larger veterans' organizations, such as The VFW and The American Legion. Specifically, we exist to attract those veterans who served during the Cold War years between 1945 until 1994 and whose service was in the isolated city of West Berlin, West Germany. Our pool of prospects is much smaller and has a finite life span; therefore, we try to make membership, joining and retention, an attractive and inviting choice. This past year our reunion was at Fort Benning, GA. A location known to many, and for some it had once been their introduction to military life. We enjoyed the organized group visits to nearby points of interest. We were assisted in this event by the local chamber of commerce and The National Infantry Museum (NIM). Our reunion highlight was the NIM's honoring and presenting our members a custom designed lapel pin commemorating their service during The Cold War. Most recently BUSMVA assisted The National Museum of The U.S. Army in Washington, DC with their building campaign. It takes the willingness and dedication of our elected directors and officers, unpaid volunteers, to keep the spark alive which keeps the organization relevant. To that end such endeavors as publishing a quarterly newsletter, The BUSMVA Observer, gets accomplished. An active web presence is maintained at www.berlinveterans.com, and with social media, such as Facebook; offering opportunities for the general membership to interact with one another. Our mission during the Cold War era was to keep the people and the West Berlin sector free and safe. That mission and our collective service was accomplished with the Fall of The Berlin Wall in 1989. The two Berlins and two Germanys are unified as one today, and in no small part to this groups existence. The Berlin U.S. Military Veterans Association was formed to promote comradeship among those who served with the Berlin Brigade. Twenty-five years later we continue to maintain that focus.
