Fellow Leaguers:
For those who visit this Department of California website frequently, oohrah. To those here for the first time, welcome. Here you will find, arguably, everything you need to know about the Department: A listing of Officers and how to contact them; a calendar of events, conferences, convention, birthday balls and other important Marine Corps League events. Here you will find locations of Detachments and contact information for officers. We also include pictures of past events, forms you may need to use and links to other Marine related sites including the MCL National website.
From Six Rivers in Eureka, to the San Diego Bulldogs, from Monterey Bay to Antelope Valley, there are fifty Marine Corps League Detachments throughout the State that join together in camaraderie for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps.
Activities include care packages for our overseas Marines, care for widows and orphans, Birthday Balls, participation in parades, Honor Guards, Burial Details, Toys for Tots, fundraising for Wounded Warrior and Semper Fi, and on and on. I am proud of our California Detachments and all you do for your communities, your MCL, and your Country. We are a strong voice for upholding and protecting the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
To the visitors at this site, if you are a Marine and possess a DD-214, or a Corpsman who served with an FMF unit for more than 90 days, I urge you to join us by contacting your nearest Detachment. If you have not served as a Marine or Corpsman and wish to join us as an Associate Member, please do. Among our Associate Members are spouses and relatives of Marines.
To Marine Corps League members: once a Marine, always a Marine. Stay involved. If you are not a Life Member, keep up your membership when it comes due every year. Bring in new members, ensure they feel welcome, and get them involved in your activities.
I quote Cpl Jeff Sornig from Navy Times, I love the Corps for those intangible possessions that cannot be issued: pride, honor, integrity and being able to carry on the traditions for generations of warriors past.
Semper Fidelis.
Rob Jackson
Commandant, Department of California
