Mission Statement
Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving
the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps, banding together those who are now serving in
the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service that they may effectively
promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines and former
Marines and to their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting
acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
