The Mormon Battalion Association™
Honoring legacy. Celebrating heritage.
Who We Are
The modern Mormon Battalion Association™ was established in the late 1940s when LDS President David O. McKay asked his Huntsville neighbor, Fred M. Reese, to form an organization to help fulfill the prophecy of Brigham Young that the Mormon Battalion would be held in honorable remembrance. We were incorporated in 1954 and are a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization.
