The purpose of the West Indian-American Military Members Association is to promote awareness, increase understanding and recognize the contributions of West Indian-Americans to the United States military. This is done through the exchange of culture, promoting diversity through education and celebration, while focusing on the month of June as the West Indian-American Heritage Month, and continuing throughout the year.
