History becomes more powerful when young people can stand where it happened. 🇺🇸

Seven East Valley Young Marines are preparing for the opportunity to attend the 85th Anniversary Pearl Harbor Commemoration in December 2026.

This journey will allow them to honor those who served, experience our nation’s history firsthand, and strengthen the leadership, discipline, and respect they will carry into the future.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to help cover airfare, lodging, meals, local transportation, and educational tours.

Every donation moves these seven Young Marines closer to Pearl Harbor. If you cannot donate today, sharing this post can help us reach someone who can.
