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

Welcome back from summer!

Ahoy Marines!
Sadly, summer is drawing to a close but hopefully we'll still enjoy plenty of warm weather.

With the end of summer, we resume our regular monthly meeting schedule. Our next meeting is set for Thursday, September 10, 2009. As always, at the Elks Lodge, 30 Haven St., Port Washington. The meeting is called to order at 8:00PM. However, the doors open at 7:30 PM as does the bar. So if you can, stop by a little early for a drink and some pre-meeting Marine Corps camaraderie.


The September issue of "Finnegan's 411" is out for your reading enjoyment. You can access that issue and previous issues by clicking on the first link in the "Links to the Corps" section on the left of the home page. Check it out!
See you on the 10th, till then, Semper Fidelis!
