The U.S.N. Armed Guard World War II Veterans Association is the official organization of U.S. Navy Armed Guard veterans. ***PLEASE NOTE*** With the passing of CA Lloyd in November 2021, no new activity has taken place with the exception of Armed Guard Veteran Clarence “Korky” Korker in Florida taking up the effort.
