Testimonials

"This detachment provided my family contacts and resources to ensure my grandfather (WW2 Marine) received the proper honor guard services when he passed, I'm paying it forward to other military families."

Gary Bondaug, USMC '88-'97

"The Marine Corps League keeps me in touch with the Marine Corps past and present. The camaraderie brings back memories from my active duty and reserve days. It is also an organization that members can utilize contacts and resources for their personal needs."

Simon C. Ellorin Jr. USMC '72-'74

As an old Marine veteran, what I like most about The League is the camaraderie, they say "Once a Marine, Always a Marine" and these guys prove it. Whether it's heading up to the Marine’s Memorial Club in San Francisco, a reunion back to MCRD San Diego or Pendleton, or just tipping a few beers and telling "no shit, there I was" stories, it's about Marines being Marines. Join us!
