MONTHLY MEETING:  Sunday, 1 March 2026

 

Back to business with Detachment work!  Today, we focused on routine business with planning future events along with welcoming special guests.  

 

Dawn Price retired from California Highway Patrol in 2015; she is Marine Corps veteran who later served with the Air Force Reserves until retirement from military service.

 

David Santos visited us from the MCL Detachment 967 in Upland; he served as an FMF Corpsman and was keen to see how we do business.

 

We bid "Fair Winds and Following Seas" to our beloved member, Donald Krampe who passed away in early-February.  Our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies go out to his wife, Jean Krampe.

 

Thanks again to everyone for adjusting your schedules to attend today.

 

See below for our new formation picture with new members!

 

Together, we remain, "Semper Fidelis."

UPDATE - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES! (6 November 2025)

 

See our Detachment celebrating the 250th USMC Birthday at Camp Pendleton.  This week, a special meal was held at the 11th Marines (43 Area)  Las Pulgas Dining Facility; many of our members were treated as VIPs as they dined in the prestigious Bullet Room. 

 

Several from our Detachment were present, enjoying a hearty meal of Steak and Lobster, along with sharing in the camaraderie. Once a month, these special meals are held aboard base.  Anyone with base access can participate in the fun!  

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!
