MARSHALLESE
VETERANS'
ALLIANCE

Iakwe and welcome to the Marshallese Veterans Alliance (MVA) home page. MVA is a non-profit organization which aims to honor the military service of members with Marshallese ancestry. As a liaison between state and local offices and veterans’ organizations, MVA is uniquely qualified to recognize cultural challenges within the framework of the military service and works to improve lives within Marshallese communities in the United States and the Pacific Islands. MVA bridges gaps between the Department of Veterans Affairs and individual veterans to provide educational, financial and emotional support to individuals, families, small businesses to address pressing needs within our community. Bar juon alen, kom ruanenei im komol kin jibañ ko relap. Welcome and thank you for your support.
