The purpose of this blog is to increase awareness of the Marine Corps League in general and more specifically the Port Washington 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!
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 at 30 Haven Ave. Port Washington, N.Y 11050
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!
