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

More work on the blog

Still experimenting and playing around with the various gadgets available on the blog. As you can see up top we've now got a clock telling time in N.Y. where this blog originates, and Iraq and Afghanistan where our Marines and other Service members are doing what they do best; defending our nation and safeguarding our way of life. On the right, below the Links to the Corps are links to various Marine Corps related videos. Simply place your cursor over any of the videos, click the video and it will show right over the blog page. Click on the video screen which pops up and you'll be redirected to YouTube where you can view a larger screen version of the video.
There is also now a link to our detachment's newsletter. Click on the link and it will bring you to our detachment's web site page where you can view and download the last several issues of "Finnegan's 411"
Semper Fidelis!
