Calendar of events: https://teamup.com/ksbf20b080cdefb132 The Marine Corps League perpetuates the traditions and spirit of ALL Marines and FMF Corpsmen and FMF Navy Chaplains who proudly wear or who have worn the eagle, globe and anchor of the Corps. It takes great pride in crediting its founding in 1923 to World War I hero, then Major General Commandant John A. It takes equal pride in its Federal Charter, approved by An Act of the Seventy-Fifth Congress of the United States of America and signed and approved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 4, 1937. The League is the only Federally Chartered Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. Since its earliest days, the Marine Corps League has enjoyed the support and encouragement of the active duty and Reserve establishments of the U. Marine Corps. Today, the League boasts a membership of more than 76,000 men and women, officer and enlisted, active duty, Reserve Marines, honorably discharged Marine Veterans and qualified FMF Corpsmen and FMF Navy Chaplains and is one of the few Veterans Organizations that experiences increases in its membership each year. The Marine Corps League is headed by an elected National Commandant, with 14 elected National Staff Officers who serve as trustees. The National Board of Trustees coordinates the efforts of 49 department, or state, entities and the activities of over 1100 community-based detachments located throughout the United States and overseas. The day-to-day operations of the League are under the control of the National Executive Director with the responsibility for the management and direction of all programs, activities, and affairs of the Marine Corps League as well as supervising the National Headquarters staff. The prime authority of the League is derived from its Congressional charter and from its annual National Convention held each August in different major U.S. cities throughout the nation. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(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

Marines,

Please see the below email from the Marine Heritage Foundation. Consider contributing to refurbish our memorial outside the front gate of Quantico, recently vandalised..

=======================================================================

Good afternoon -

You may have seen the news yesterday and today regarding the vandalism of the historic Iwo Jima Memorial near Marine Corps Base Quantico. On October 21, 2026 at 2230 an individual took a sledgehammer to the monument right outside of the main gate. Local law enforcement did catch him in the act and arrested him immediately. Unfortunately, the damage was done - Cpl Harlon Block USMC was decapitated, a bayonet from one of the ri**es was destroyed and heavy chipping/gouging occured to Cpl Harold Keller's face. In cooperation with the Base Commander and Marine Corps Headquarters, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign to support the restoration of the monument. Our goal is to start restoration efforts as soon as possible. Gen Lukeman asked that we share our efforts with you in hopes you can help spread the word.

Please let us know if you need any social graphics or marketing images. You can also share our posts with your audiences.

10 ОСТ 2026 Dear Walter P. Ryan Marine Corps League Detachment 1226

I wanted to personally thank you for your generous donation of $1,000.00. Your generosity came at the perfect time. Our group, Tangled Threads, Quilts of Valor Group 71033 was literally down to our last thirty-eight cents and we were going to haveto reschedule award ceremonies until we had enough funds to create more quilts to award deserving Veterans healing and comforting Quilts of Valor.

It's organizations like The Marine Corps League who have so graciously opened their arms and welcomed us into the family while supporting our heartfelt efforts to continueto provide a service to our Veterans.

I took on the role of Group Leader, then District Coordinator, and now Florida State Coordinator so I could continue to give back to our community. With your generous donation, our group can continue to do so.

Again, thank you so much for your donation to continue providing comforting and
healing Quilts of Valor.

For God, Country and Veterans.
