MONTHLY MEETING -- 31 May 2025

 

We conducted our monthly meeting, continuing plans on routine detachment business as we proceed through the Summer.


This month, many of our Detachment members participated in Memorial Day Observances throughout Southern California.

 

Retired Marine Corps Colonel Willard "Willy" Buhl was guest speaker at the Memorial Day Observance hosted by the Veterans Association of North County (VANC) in Oceanside.  

 

Colonel Buhl shared stories of great sacrifice by countless young Americans who gave the "last full measure of devotion" for our great Nation.

 

Also, on 22 May, a civilian Cessna 550 private aircraft crashed in Murphy Canyon military housing in San Diego.  All crew and passengers aboard the aircraft perished.  There were no fatalities amongst the military families living in the neighborhood.

Our next meeting is on 26 June. Same time, same location.  
 

Bring a friend and COME JOIN US!

Join the Marine Corps League

 

We count among our members, officers and enlisted.  We have pounded the ground, flown in the air, saved lives as corpsmen. 
 

We've served our nation not only at home but in conflicts in the Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.  Nevertheless, our common bond, that which unites us all, regardless of our current stations in life, is that We Are All Marines.

 

If you want to rekindle that "Esprit de Corps" that only Marines can share, swap old sea stories, catch up with old friends or make some new friends, we invite you to come to our meetings and see who we are and what we do.

 

You've already earned the title United States Marine so we'd like to welcome you aboard!
