DETACHMENTS DISTRICTS 5-8

     Detachments are comprised of active duty, retired and veteran Marines  (which includes Navy Corpsmen and Chaplains 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!”
