Help preserve the story of the Triple Nickles and support students in need
The 555th fought for a country that hadn't yet extended its full promise to them. We honor that sacrifice by extending opportunity to the students who need it most, and by making sure their story is never forgotten.
The Samuel Council Chapter keeps the Triple Nickles' legacy alive through education, scholarship funding, and community engagement. Every donation goes directly to those programs, no overhead waste, no corporate middlemen.
Sgt. Joe Harris, one of the last surviving Triple Nickles, passed away on March 15, 2025, at age 108. The witnesses are leaving us. The work of preservation is now our responsibility.
Your gift is secure, tax-deductible, and goes directly to supporting our mission in Cumberland County.
Make an immediate impact with a single donation of any amount.
Join our community of sustained supporters. As little as $10/month provides reliable program funding.
Honor a veteran or loved one with a meaningful gift and personalized tribute certificate.
