MARINES!

If you're an honorably discharged former Marine looking to get back in touch with The Corps or if you're presently serving either in the active Marine Corps, the reserves or you're an honorably discharged former FMF Corpsman, looking to connect with other Marines to swap sea stories, share memories, perhaps find an old friend or make some new friends, or if you want to rekindle that special "Esprit de Corps" that only Marines can share, we'd like to meet you and we invite you to join us!

We count among our members, Marine Corps veterans of Pelelui, Iwo and Okinawa, the Korean War, Viet Nam, Operation Iraqi Freedom and every other "clime and place where we could take a gun." Our membership boasts officers and enlisted, grunts, air wingers, supply personnel, administrators and Marines from every other MOS of the Corps. Our common bond is that we are Marines!
We invite you to become one of us!

Attention on Deck! Welcome aboard to our newest members Chet Jaworowski and Scott Werner!
Chet reported to Parris Island in March 1967 and served through January 1970 as a 2542 Communication Center Operator. Chet is a carpenter and he and his wife Linda currently live in Commack.
Scott reported to Parris Island in July 2000 and served as an 0651 Data Network Specialist. He served 2 tours in Iraq before being discharged as a Sgt. Scott now works as an Information Systems Engineer. He and his wife Lauren currently reside in Smithtown.

Our next meeting will be held on Thursday June 11, 2009 at 8:00 PM. This will be our last meeting before the summer hiatus. We will have chow on hand and there will be an open bar for you to enjoy after the meeting. So come hungry and thirsty!

We joined the League to carry on the traditions and Esprit de Corps of the Marine Corps. As a detachment we can only prosper and be successful with our member's support and participation. So come to our meetings, get involved, say hello to old friends and make some new friends.
