American Merchant Marine Veterans (AMMV) is a pro-American, non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness about the accomplishments and sacrifices of American Merchant Mariners in both war and peace. Founded in 1983, AMMV focuses on highlighting the service of U.S. Merchant Mariners, particularly during World War II, and advocating for recognition and benefits for their service. The organization provides support to American Merchant Marine Veterans, United States military Veterans, and their families by offering assistance with therapy, legal issues, financial matters, and information on available benefits and services. AMMV also works to educate the American people and government about the contributions of American Merchant Mariners to the nation's war efforts and national security. The organization hosts events, maintains a blog, and actively engages in government affairs to fight for recognition and support for American Merchant Mariners.
