Letter from the Admiral

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) has always enjoyed a special relationship with Sailors and Marines, not only because they are the recipients of our financial assistance, but because Sailors and Marines help ensure the Society can provide assistance to their shipmates and fellow Marines through their donations.

When Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families fall on hard times, NMCRS is there to help get them back on their feet with short-term, interest-free loans or grants. Without your annual contributions, NMCRS would not be able to provide financial assistance to every Sailor or Marine who comes to us with a legitimate need for assistance.

Thank you for your financial support through the 2013 Active Duty Fund Drive. You have truly made a difference!

Steve Abbot
Admiral, United States Navy (Retired)
President and Chief Executive Officer
