Supporting Marine Corps History | Parris Island Heritage Foundation

Parris Island Heritage Foundation

PIHF was established in 1990 under Marine Corps Order 5750.1, “Command Museums,” as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Charitable and Membership organization to support the Parris Island Museum. The Letter of Incorporation and By Laws were approved by South Carolina Secretary of State, and the Depot’s Commanding General authorized the operation of the gift shop shortly thereafter. In accordance with South Carolina State Law, the good standing as a non-profit organization and its latest tax forms are published for public review.

Since its inception, the Foundation and the Museum have had a profitable relationship, with Foundation members having the satisfaction of contributing to the legacy of the Marine Corps in a meaningful way.

When you head on out to the Moon, in very short order, and you get a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you are looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you are beginning to see the Earth evolve.
