    Columbia River Detachment #826 (Estab

    “We few, we precious few,

    We, who have shed our blood together, shall forever be,

    A BAND OF BROTHERS

    A Marine may leave the Corps

    But the Corps will NEVER Leave the Marine!

    ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE!”

     

    Hello Marine, Corpsman, or Supporter of the U.S. Marine Corps:

     

    It is always good to share with members of the Marine community. One of our major purposes is to "Take Care of Our Own", a time tested philosophy of our Corps that will never die. Other things we do, no matter how profound are negligible to this. You can complete the application information and send it with your dues via U.S. Postal mail, or just bring it with you when you come to our meeting next month.

     

    Our Marine Corps Family meets @ 1900 Elks Lodge #826, 11605 SE McGillivray Blvd., Vancouver, WA SECOND THURSDAY of each month. ALL MARINES and SIGNIFICANT OTHERS are welcome to join with us in camaraderie. The business part is normally concluded in about an hour so that we can enjoy the meeting following the meeting, and solve the world‘s problems. As it is a ’school night’ we normally start heading home around 2200.

    PURPOSE OF THE LEAGUE

     

    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. This is accomplished by banding together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service. Voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines and former Marines and to their widows and orphans, and by perpetuating the history of the United States Marine Corps through fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.

     

    We invite you to join us by completing and submitting our application form.
