Formerly known as the Veterans of the OSS, the OSS Society is the association of veterans of the Office of Strategic Services, dedicated to preserving the legacy of the famed intelligence agency. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Veterans of the OSS was founded in 1947 by General William Donovan. [1] In 1997, the name OSS Society was adopted, and the Society moved to Washington, DC. [1]
The OSS Society is currently in efforts with other IC organizations to create a National Museum of Intelligence and Special Operations in Virginia. [7] [8]
In 2016, the OSS Society successfully negotiated, in coordination with the State Department and the National Park Service, to have the E Street Complex awarded the status of National Historic Place by the National Register of Historic Places. [9]
