Mission Statement - Marine Corps League
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!
Because of the limited bandwidth here I have removed the mission video.
