Marine Corps League National Headquarters
Mission Statement:
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, banding together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen and former Marines and FMF Corpsmen and to their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
Major Gen. John A. Lejeune, the Marine Corps Commandant, founded the Marine Corps League in 1923. Congress later chartered this exclusive League on 4 August 1937. Membership is available to honorably discharged, active duty, and reserve Leathernecks. Members may be officers or enlisted, male or female.
