"Provide Leadership - Encourage Teamwork - Focus on Mission"

To grow our Marine Corps League in Indiana, we must "Provide Leadership" in our Detachments, "Encourage Teamwork" in our Detachments, and most of all "Focus on Mission" in all our Detachments.
Mission: 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.

Happy Birthday Marines!!

Virginia - Arlington: United States Marine Cor...Image by wallyg via Flickr

On this the 234th Birthday of our Marine Corps I am thinking of those that are in harms way in Iraq, Afganistan, and around the globe. I am thinking of their safety, of their need for care packages and letters, and of the welfare of their families here at home. We should all be working to ensure that our Marines and their families are supported in the best manner we can!

As I stood at attention while the Marine Hymn was played at the Marine Corps Ball last saturday night, I could see our Marine Corps flag straight ahead and I could see the many Marines of all ages standing in joint honor and pride. Marine veterans from our nation's wars were honored as they annouced each war. The stirring, funny, and emotionally charged speach of our guest speaker SSgt Don Myers USMC (Ret) capped off a great ceremony.

As an individual I am humbled by the honor of serving my country as a United States Marine. I am honored to have served with some of the greatest men I know. And now as your Commandant I continue to be amazed at the performance and committment of Marines and former Marines continuing to work for the good of our nation and our communities.

Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday Marines!! Oorah!!
