Mission

The mission of the Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation (MSSHF) is to remember the sacrifices and honor the rich legacy of Marine Scout Snipers built over 105 years of faithful service. We achieve our mission through research to uncover the forgotten history of Marine Scout Snipers; by positively accounting for those who served as Scout Snipers and gave their lives for their country; and by engaging with and educating all Americans about the important contributions made by Marine Scout Snipers to our nation's defense. Our most urgent goal is to erect a suitable memorial to honor the memory of U.S. Marine Scout Snipers killed in action since World War I. This Marine Scout Sniper War Memorial will be placed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps outside Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.
