The detachment's newsletter "Finnegan's 411" for June 2009 has been published. You can download a copy here
There are a few events on the horizon concerning the detachment, which you're going to want to know about. Not the least of which is our next meeting June 11, 2009 at 8:00PM. This will be our last meeting until September. As such and as we've done in the past, we will be providing food (assorted sandwiches and salads) from Dominic's deli and there will be an open bar after the meeting! So come hungry and thirsty! We'll be discussing upcoming events that we've planned which will take place over the summer. So be sure to be there.
Feel free to bring your spouse or significant other with you to this meeting. It gives them an opportunity to see a little of what goes on at our meetings and it gives the detachment a chance to say “thank you” to them for their continued support of and assistance to the detachment in all our events and activities. By all means, if you have friends who are former Marines who may have expressed an interest in the League, bring them as well!
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.
