The Military Order of The World Wars (MOWW)

is a national service organization dedicated to sustaining our great nation, and its principles.

Originally incorporated as the "American Officers of the Great War," the Order is in its tenth decade of service with more than 1xxxx members in 1xxxx chapters nationwide.

MOWW is composed of federally recognized commissioned officers and warrant officers of good moral character and repute who are citizens of the United States who are serving or have served honorably in the Active, Reserve, or National Guard, Air Force, and Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOWW) Corps. and the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Corps, including decendants and spouses of these officrs.

   In his address to the Order's 1926                                    convention, General John J.Pershing

                            inspired the delegates to "...dedicate

                            yourselves to protecting the freedom

                            you have so valuablely won on the

                            battlefield."

                            His interest and support afforded the

                            MOWW national prestige and

                            instilled a commitment from which it

                            has never wavered.
