Brazilian Marines Class 2/96 - 30th Reunion

Today, as a proud member of Marine Corps League Detachment #1492, and as someone honored
to uphold the values and traditions of the United States Marine Corps while also carrying the legacy
of the Brazilian Marines, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my fellow Brazilian Marines who gathered today in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our Class 2/96.
Although I was unable to be there in person, my heart and spirit were with each one of you. Thank you to every brave Marine who wore the uniform with honor, courage, and dedication. The bonds
we forged can never be broken by time or distance.
Congratulations on this unforgettable reunion and on celebrating three decades of brotherhood.
To all my brothers:

Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸 . Adsumus! 🇧🇷

Honoring a Life of Service
The Marine Corps League and the Detachment Peacekeepers, mourns the passing of Lt. Col. Richard Thomas “Dick” Tanner, USMC (Ret.), a distinguished Marine, devoted husband, faithful Christian, and dedicated member of our League.
Lt. Col. Tanner honorably served our Nation for more than 25 years, including combat service in Vietnam and numerous leadership assignments throughout the Marine Corps. Following his military career, he continued to serve veterans and his community through the Marine Corps League, including as Department Commandant for Delaware, where he earned the respect and admiration of all who knew him.
A man of unwavering faith, Dick lived a life guided by God, family, and service to others. His love for his country and the Marine Corps remained evident throughout his life, and he leaves behind a legacy of honor, humility, and selfless dedication.
It is especially fitting that this devoted patriot entered eternal rest on July 4, 2026, the 250th Birthday of the United States, the Nation he faithfully served for more than a quarter century.
Today, The Detachment Peacekeepers proudly rendered final honors to one of our own, standing in silent respect and gratitude for a Marine whose service and character exemplified the values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
We extend our deepest condolences to his beloved wife of 61 years, Diane, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all whose lives he touched.
Rest easy, Marine. Your duty is done, your legacy endures, and you will never be forgotten.

🇺🇸 D-DAY REMEMBRANCE | JUNE 6, 1944 🇺🇸

Today, the members of Marine Corps League Detachment #1492 pause to remember and honor the brave Allied servicemen who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.

Many made the ultimate sacrifice so that future generations could live in freedom. Their courage in the face of overwhelming odds helped liberate Europe and changed the course of history.

As we reflect on their heroism, we remember that the freedoms we enjoy today were purchased at a tremendous cost. We owe an everlasting debt of gratitude to those who never returned home and to all who served alongside them.

Detachment #1492 proudly honors the fallen heroes of D-Day. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

“A nation that remembers its heroes honors its future.”

Semper Fidelis.
