Welcome to the website of the Housatonic Detachment of the Marine Corps League
We are located in Stratford, CT.
The Housatonic Detachment was chartered March 17, 2003. We are fortunate to have members from many eras and Marines that held ranks from Private to Lieutenant Colonel. Cold War era Marines and Combat Marines that served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom. Needless to say, any gathering of our members results in many “sea stories”. You will hear stories about boot camp, hitting the beach on Iwo Jima, flying a CH46 in Iraq, what it was like to be a Grunt in Vietnam and even stories about being among the first women in the newly formed Women Marine Reserves in WWII.
