MONTHLY MEETING -- 28 June 2025
Today's meeting was well attended. As we went through monthly business, we were briefed on member actions and continued plans covering detachment business scheduled throughout rest of summer and into the fall.
Summer is change of command season for our local military units stationed at our neighboring Navy and Marine Corps bases. Many of our Detachment members attended these ceremonies held throughout the
region.
Jim Grucza, a Desert Storm Veteran joined us and will be soon be part of our team.
Retired MSgt John Hernandez was recently elected Jr. Vice Commander, Department of California of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) for 2025-2026.
Sennen Chow was recognized for his significant contributions during the last Toys for Tots season. As an employee at the Temecula Lexus Dealership, Chow led the charge with collecting toys for donation.
Check out the images in all of our photo albums to see our latest meeting and activities with the community.
Our next meeting is on Saturday, 26 July. 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!
