Lloyd LeCain, a U.S. Navy veteran, is a member of an array of groups and organizations such as the Texas A&M Association of Former Students, the Naval War College Foundation, and the National Defense Transportation Association. After a distinguished naval career, Lloyd G. LeCain is now a volunteer with the U.S. Naval Institute.
Founded in 1873, the U.S. Naval Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating an independent forum to advance “the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to global security.” The institute serves those in a community of individuals engaging in critical discourse on issues in the Navy, or “Sea Services.” The foundation’s monthly journal, Proceedings, as well as other publications, help serve its 100,000 members by keeping them updated on relevant developments. One of the primary aspects of the Naval Institute is to preserve the Navy’s legacy and heritage, keeping an expansive collection of oral histories, rare images of Navy ships and aircraft, and other historical images of importance. The institute has now begun to digitize its collection in order to both preserve the history, and is also producing 90-second vignettes of Americans conveying their experiences with war in their own words, with the goal of inspiring pride and patriotism.
