About the Military Order of World Wars



        “The Military Order is a patriotic nonpartisan organization, which holds that it is “nobler to serve than to be served.” The Order was established in 1919 to promote the welfare of our Nation. Because it clearly is not a self-seeking organization, the Order is widely respected and listened to, throughout all branches of the Government and across the Country.

        The Order provides an opportunity for Officers of all of the Federal Uniformed Services to unite in a strong program to promote National Security, Patriotism, Good Citizenship and Service to Country.”


About the Affiliation



        The National Society of Pershing Rifles and the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) became affiliate organizations on August 5, 2006. This affiliation, as stated in the official resolution (make the words official resolution a hyperlink to the “Resolution of Affiliation” page), was formed in order “to promote and expand participation and involvement in mutually beneficial programs throughout the Nation for a better America.” Pershing Rifles and the MOWW will work together to build this affiliation and relationship; however, both organizations will remain independent and separate.
