Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps, bringing together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service and those who also served honorably in any other branch of American military service. Our goal is to promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy by voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen, their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps through appropriate acts including observing the anniversaries of certain occasions of particular significance to Marines.
