If you are proud of becoming a Marine and serving your country in the Corps, now or in the past, then you will be proud to be a member of the Marine Corps League. Share the camaraderie you experienced while in the Corps. Take part in ceremonies to honor our deceased veterans. Shoot with our Dept. Rifle Team. Attend different social functions on the Detachment and Department level. As a member of the League you will also be eligible for a specialty license plate with an Eagle Globe and Anchor on it!

Once a Marine always a Marine!

The purposes of the Marine Corps League as prescribed in its Federal Charter are:

... To preserve the traditions and promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps League

...To band those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service together in fellowship that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy.

...To fit its members for the duties of citizenship and to encourage them to serve as ably as citizens as they have served their Nation under arms

...To hold sacred the history and memory of the men who have given their lives to the nation

...To foster love for the principals which they have supported by blood and valor since the founding of the republic

...To maintain true allegiance to American institutions

...To create a bond of comradeship between those in the service and those who have returned to civil life.

...to aid voluntarily and to render assistance to all Marines as well as to their widows and orphans

...to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of peculiar interest to Marines
