The organization currently has over 65 volunteer members, mainly World War II and Korean War Veterans.

The establishment adopted the Doddridge County Veteran’s Honor Roll, containing approximately 3,000 names of all the veterans in Doddridge County. The Mollohan Family Foundation provided a grant that matched the amount of money earned in the community for the maintenance of the board to up to $2,000. The money will be used to redo all the names on the board and add the new ones as they are identified.
