TCVA Member Benefits

 

​How Your Membership Supports Our Mission

As a valued member of the TACAMO Community Veterans Association (TCVA), your membership directly supports our mission of building a community, sharing common experiences at reunions, preserving TACAMO history, and collecting artifacts for museum displays that educate the public and honor the service and sacrifice of our members.  You play a crucial role in supporting not only the daily operations of our organization but also the significant projects that preserve the legacy of the TACAMO community.  Here’s how your annual membership fee of $35 makes an impact:

​

  • Free Membership for Active-Duty Personnel: All active-duty officers and enlisted members have free, full access to the TCVA website for as long as they remain on active duty and renew their membership annually.

  • Keeping the Association Operational: Your membership helps keep TCVA running 24/7, allowing us to continue to serve the community and maintain a strong presence.

  • Funding Special Events and Recognition: Supporting special events and promotions that foster connection and engagement.  For example, TACAMO Hall of Fame Awards recognize those who have made significant contributions to our community.

  • Printing and distributing brochures, flyers, and displays to keep everyone informed.

  • Offsetting reunion expenses to help us continue hosting events where the TACAMO family can come together.

  • Supporting Key Projects:  

    • Upkeep on TACAMO Museum Displays: Ensuring the preservation of our history through exhibits at places like the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum in Maryland.  

    • VQ-3 Crew FOUR Memorial at Wake Island:  Honoring our members with lasting tributes to their service.

    • TACAMO Memorial at Punchbowl: Contributing to the upkeep of the memorial at Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii.

  • Supporting the Next Generation: Your membership helps provide scholarships for students pursuing careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). These scholarships ensure the next generation of leaders has the resources they need to succeed, fostering innovation and excellence within the TACAMO community and beyond.

  • Exclusive Member Benefits: As a TCVA member, you get unlimited access to our website, where you can stay up-to-date with the latest news, resources, and connect with fellow members. 
    Plus, when you renew your membership or join as a new member during our annual membership drive, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a one-way ticket on Southwest Airlines, good for travel within the next year!
