Want To Help
The USMC Scout Sniper Association (SSA) is the sole non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Marine Scout Snipers worldwide. Our mission is to foster brotherhood, promote professionalism, and build resilience within the Scout Sniper community. We serve not only those who have carried the long gun but also the enablers of our battlefield successes and their families.
As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the SSA relies on the generosity of donors to sustain our vital programs. Your contributions directly impact initiatives that honor our fallen, support those in need, and recognize the achievements of our members. Every donation, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in empowering our community and preserving the legacy of Marine Scout Snipers.

Scout Sniper
Gold Star Family
Retreat
This December, the Scout Sniper Association is hosting our first-ever Gold Star Family Retreat — bringing together the families of five fallen Scout Snipers for a week of remembrance and healing in Hawaii. With support from Raider Air and the Marine Recon Foundation, each family will be joined by a Marine who served alongside their loved one. This is about honoring sacrifice, preserving legacy, and standing with those left behind. Help us finish the mission. Every dollar supports travel, lodging, meals, and memorial events.
Donate today. Honor the fallen. Support the living.
This year we honor the families of:
SSgt Marvin Best, 2/7 — KIA 2004
Sgt Donald Lamar, 1/2 — KIA 2010 (Bronze Star w/ V)
Cpl Nick Ziolkowski, 1/8 — KIA 2004
