A Message from Michael Schlitzer, President of the Northern Virginia Council  

   We are a CO-OPERATIVE OF THE CORPORATE AND THE CARING.  Our Goal - to continue Education and Support of the issues which are important to ALL who have interest in our Sea Services. The Navy League frequently holds events that provide opportunity for NLUS members and corporate sponsors to have face-to-face interaction with senior leaders of the Sea Services.  We also enable our retired military members to keep abreast of legislative and military matters which affect their individual services. This format also provides contact with the branch of service of a loved one, or just the opportunity to be involved with a service that has moved into the 21st century with pride and a clear understanding of its role and mission.

We are proud of our mixture of community and corporate affiliate members, retired military, family members and other sea supporters. We are committed to providing a broad spectrum of activities for ALL our members and doing so in an affordable manner. We pride ourselves in providing support for the enlisted men and women who are members of our adopted units.

The Northern Virginia Council has a cadre of regular attendees at our meetings, and we provide awards and monetary support to several adopted ships and units. See the list to the left of this message. As part of our youth program the Council helps sponsor the Sea Cadet unit in Roanoke, VA and provides an annual John Camp Memorial Scholarship to a selected Sea Cadet.

If you have an interest in membership, public affairs, youth, or other Council activities, please let us know. We cherish our long-time associates and are always looking for new blood to keep the Council growing better and better!

You will receive reports on events and updates announcing special programs as they occur, electronically if you provide an e-mail address.   WE VALUE YOUR PARTICIPATION.
