Department of Illinois
Detachments Dist. 5-8
Detachments are comprised
of active duty, retired and veteran Marines (which includes Navy Corpsmen who
have served with FMF Marine Corps Units.) There
are also Associate members (not Marine Veterans but espouse the ideals of the
Corps and have pitched in to help the Marine Corps League in various ways) as
well as Honorary members.
These members are the very
life blood of the organization. When
the need arises, the MCL members are ready and willing to do what is needed to
see that all veterans are cared for as if they were part of the family.
After all, we are all family and as the saying goes, “We Take Care of
Our Own!”
