Marines dont leave Marines behind - the Marine Corps League didnt leave this Marine behind and we thank Alessandra Kellerman and her organization - Homefront Hugs for bringing him to our attention. 

Looking back on the holidays, we bring you one of the best Christmas stories you never heard.

On Saturday, 03 December 2005, Young Marine Gunnery Sergeant Christopher San Jose, was honored by the Young Marines of Dade County, Miami, Florida, and the PFC. Bruce W. Carter, Marine Corps League detachment, at Tonys Roma, Kendall.

America celebrates the 230th Anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps with new and special postage stamps ... distinctive issues that capture the spirit of honor and sacrifice displayed by U.S. Marines throughout the history of the Corps.

Fellow Marines and Members of the Marine Corps League, it is truly an honor for me to be able to wish each of you a Happy Birthday on this 230th birthday of our beloved Corps. Many of our "Greatest Generation" Marines and Members have celebrated several events of the 60th Anniversary of World War II this year. We have celebrated the 60th anniversary of VE and VJ Days and we will culminate the ending of those 60th anniversary events on Veterans Day, November 11, 2005.

When LtCol Goetz (Housatonic Detachment # 1129) found out he was going to be leaving his wife to fly CH-46's in Iraq for seven months, he wanted to do something special for his anniversary.  So, he rented a billboard in the center of town for six months.

Paul E. Boyd Detachment #579 is located in Kenner, LA just outside New Orleans near Armstrong International airport. We have received some flood damage to our building. However, our greatest concern is for our members and their families.

 VINELAND - Semper Marine Detachment No. 205 of the Marine Corps League expects to be in its  new digs at 2041 W. Landis Ave. by Sept. 1, according to Detachment Commandant Bob Everwine.  

The Department of South Carolina and Palmetto Marine Detachment #829 delivers 4000 pounds of health and comfort items to Commanding General of Camp LeJeune, Maj. Gen. Stephen T. Johnson on August 2 and 3rd 2005.

Personal listings for ALL Marine Corps League members have now been completed for the upcoming Marine Corps League Membership Directory. This will be an all new Directory containing photos submitted by our members. The next stage is a final verification of each members listing.

In the aftermath of a natural disaster, here is some information you should know if you are a Veteran in need medical or drug assistance.  We urge all Veterans to read this information.

Late Friday afternoon, about 30 of the major VSO's met with Secretary Nicholson, and all of the Deputy Secretaries for a brief on the VA's efforts and game plan, relative to the "Hurricane Katrina Response".

On behalf of National Commandant Kish and the Staff at National Headquarters, we want to take a moment to convey our prayers and concern for those who have been effected by this seemingly overwhelming disaster.  We pray that we didn't lose any Marines or family members in this tragedy.
