We are a unique organization of active, retired, and honorably discharged U.S. Naval Cryptologists, past and present, whose primary focus is the preservation of our rich cryptologic history.
As we enter this Memorial Day weekend, I’d like to briefly remind everyone to keep in mind the sacrifices those in our community have made over the years.
In fact, if you were at the last reunion, you would have heard our “Two-Bell Ceremony” that addresses that particular idea. Below certainly isn’t a comprehensive list—but it is certainly illustrative of the kinds of losses we have had over the years.
Please take a moment this year to remember:
Finally, all our family members and friends we have lost over the years who have meant so much to us for their companionship, unquestioning support, and eternal love.
Be safe this holiday weekend.

Executive Director, U.S. NCVA
We remember the men of Station Hypo and other, more remote sites during World War II. We are familiar with and honor the legions of women who helped build the aircraft, tanks, and ships. The contributions of the U.S. Navy’s female cryptologists were critical to helping the Allies win the Secret War.
