Beach Minuteman
Our Chapter was founded November 14, 1958 and serves the lower Fairfield County of Connecticut. The mission of our organization is to provide a forum for our members to meet and foster fraternal fellowship. We have about 100 regular and auxiliary members. Specific purposes of the organization is listed below.
The purposes of our organization shall be:
(1) to inculcate and stimulate love of our country and our flag
(2) to uphold and defend the constitutional government of the United States of America
(3) to advocate military forces adequate to the defense of our country and to oppose any influence whatever calculated to weaken the national security
(4) to aid active and retired personnel of the services represented by our membership in any legitimate and practical manner, and
(5) to create harmony and a spirit of camaraderie among all officers of the uniformed services of the United States through an organized program of social and fraternal activities.
This organization is a nonprofit affiliate of The Military Officers' Association (MOAA). As such, it strives to help and support legislation designed to further a strong national defense, promotes and fosters better relationships between its members and the community in which they live, and offers opportunities to renew old friendships and make new friends through chapter meetings and social activities.
