DETACHMENTS DISTRICTS 1-4

     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!”
