We are a dedicated group of Marines devoted to improving our community. The Marine Corps League was founded by Major General Commandant, John A. Lejeune, in 1923 and chartered by an Act of Congress on August 4, 1937. Its membership of 60,000 is comprised of honorably discharged, active duty and Reserve Marines with 90 days of service or more, and retired Marines. It includes officer, enlisted, mal

e and female members. The Marine Corps League is headed by an elected National Commandant, with 14 elected national staff officers who serve as trustees. Day to day operations are under the control of an executive director who supervises the day-to-day performance of the national headquarters staff, located at 8626 Lee Highway in Fairfax, Virginia. The prime authority of the League is derived from its charter and from its annual national convention held in August in different major U. cities throughout the nation. The National Commandant has operational control over the National Headquarters staff and the National Board of Trustees, who in turn coordinate the efforts of 47 department, or State entities, and the activities of over 812 community-based detachments located throughout the United States and overseas. The League is classified as a veterans / military service organization and was formed for the purposes of promoting the interests of the U. Marine Corps; to provide camaraderie and assistance to Marines, as well as to their widows and orphans; and to preserve the traditions of the U. Marine Corps. It is a not for profit organization within the provisions of Internal Revenue Service Code 50l (c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. League members participate in:
The Veterans Administration Voluntary Service Program, an assistance program for hospitalized veterans
A national Service Program, which provides assistance to veterans in a wide area of matters relating to their military service

The League also:
Awards scholarships
Sponsors a National Youth Physical Fitness Program
Provides membership incentives
Participates in patriotic functions and provides representation to the U. Congress in legislative matters affecting the U. Marine Corps, national security and veterans benefits through its National Legislative Committee and its National Legislative Officer
Participates in Toys for Tots and other community based programs

🇺🇸 A Hero Long Overdue 🇺🇸

On June 18, 2026, Major James Capers Jr. will finally receive our nation's highest award for valor—the Medal of Honor.

A Force Recon Marine, combat leader, and trailblazer, Major Capers displayed extraordinary courage during a fierce battle in Vietnam in 1967. Despite suffering 19 wounds, including a shattered jaw and broken leg, he refused evacuation, continued directing air strikes, and ensured every member of his team—including their military working dog—was safely evacuated before allowing himself to be rescued.

Major Capers also broke barriers throughout his Marine Corps career, becoming:
🔹 The first African American special operator in the Marine Corps
🔹 The first African American to command a Force Reconnaissance Company
🔹 The first enlisted African American Marine to receive a battlefield commission
🔹 The face of the iconic "Ask a Marine" recruiting campaign

After nearly six decades, this courageous Marine is finally receiving the recognition he earned on the battlefield.

Please join us in honoring a warrior, a leader, and a Marine whose legacy continues to inspire generations.

Semper Fidelis, Major Capers. 🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓

Swing for a Cause: Marine Corps League Golf Tournament — July 10, 2026

A little girl named Nora couldn't walk — until the generosity of local business owners and community leaders in Crowley, Burleson, and Fort Worth made it possible for her to receive a
customized wheelchair. That's exactly the kind of impact the Marine Corps League's Longhorn Detachment is fighting for again this summer.

On Friday, July 10, 2026, the Longhorn Detachment hosts the 14th Annual Corporal Les Stevenson Charity Golf Tournament at Southern Oaks Golf and Tennis Club in Fort Worth. Every dollar raised benefits Wheelchairs for Kids and Cook Children's — providing life-changing, customized wheelchairs to children who need them most.

And this year, the stakes are higher than ever:

● Hole-in-one on Hole 6? Walk away with $10,000.
● Hole-in-one on Hole 3? You qualify for the $1 million challenge at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Arizona — sponsored by Dixon.
● Win a car, courtesy of Family Toyota of Burleson.
● Raffle prizes include a chest freezer with meat, a flat iron grill, and a premium ice chest. Tickets are just $5 each, or 10 for $20 (Purchase online or stop by our booth at the
Burleson Farmers Market).

The Marine Corps League is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit veterans organization, and 100% of philanthropy efforts go directly toward children in need.

You don't have to golf to make a difference. You can sponsor a team, sponsor a hole, play, buy raffle tickets, or donate — every contribution counts.

Don't sit this one out. These kids are counting on their community to show up.
