This past weekend was Memorial Day Weekend and it was filled with various activities, parades, Marine Corps displays and demos and Memorial services to honor those veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our American way of life. Pictures and descriptions of some of those activities will follow soon.
If this is your first visit to this blog, you won't notice the layout changes that have been made. However if you've been here before, you will notice things have been moved around a bit. Hopefully the changes will make the blog easier to navigate and enjoy. If there's anything you want to see here, contact us and let us know!
The Port Washington Marine Corps League Detachment
The Port Washington, N.Y. Detachment of the Marine Corps League (#614), was chartered on 7 February 1986.We are a group of active duty, reserve and former United States Marines (and U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen who served in Marine Corps FMF units). Our purpose? "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, as well as providing camaraderie and assistance to Marines, as well as to their widows and orphans".
We count among our members, Marine Corps veterans of Pelelui, Iwo, and Okinawa, the Korean War, Viet Nam, Operation Iraqi Freedom and every other "clime and place where we could take a gun." Our membership boasts officers and enlisted, grunts, air wingers, supply personnel, administrators and Marines from every other MOS of the Corps. Our common bond is that we are Marines!
If you're presently serving either in the active Marine Corps, the reserves or you're an honorably discharged former Marine or FMF Corpsman looking to connect with other Marines to rekindle that special "Esprit de Corps" that only Marines can share, if you like to swap sea stories, share memories, if you want to reconnect to old friends or make some new friends, we invite you to join us!
We meet the second Thursday of each month during the months September through June, at 2000 hrs(8:00 PM for those of you who forgot how to tell military time) at the BPO Elks Lodge:
30 Haven Ave. Port Washington, N.Y 11050.
