"The Marine Corps family is alive and well and that is a matter of pride. Let us hold tight to that pride and honor and let's comfort our brothers and sisters".
One of the most important responsibilities our members have is keeping the traditions of our Marine Corps alive. Not forgetting and honoring those who served before us is one of our most important traditions, this is why your participation in services for departed Marines should be an honor and privilege for you. Please make every effort to be there when the call goes out.

Once A Marine, Always A Marine
Join The Sunrise Detachment Today Sunrise Detachment, Serving Marines Since 1956!!!
Join the most progressive Marine Corps League Detachment on Long Island. We are constantly expanding our activities to meet the interests of our members and future members.

The Sunrise Detachment has been serving Marines since 1956. With a membership of over 300 , we have a cross section of the Marine Corps experience. Marines from World War II, Korea, Beirut, Vietnam, and all periods in between, proudly stand shoulder to shoulder in support of Marines and Veterans and their families.

The Sunrise Detachment meets the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of every month. The Bar and Ship's Stores open at 1945 meeting nights, and the meeting is called to order at 2030.

Our Members consist of a very special breed of person. In most Military Services, you can be all that you can be. But the Members of this Club who joined the Marines found themselves being more than they ever thought possible.
Both Marines and the Fleet Marine Force Corpsman who wore the Eagle, Globe and Anchor have a very special bond and loyalty to one another that even we find hard to explain. Although we find it hard to explain, it comes quite natural.

Vietnam Veterans Facts

Vietnam veterans are unique as the only group of combat veterans in the history of this great country who returned home to be reviled, vilified and abused rather than honored and appreciated. They are one of the most unjustly-maligned groups in American history.

Numerous myths (that's a polite word for lies), some caused by inaccurate media reporting, many simply made up by anti-war activists to suit their purposes, have shadowed these vets for 40+ years. Unfortunately, these lies have been repeated often enough that many people now accept them at face value.

Generations of Americans, too young to remember, need to learn the truth about these fine and heroic men and women. So we're here to dispel some of those myths.

If you've been looking for somewhere to obtain your dress blue trousers, NCO's trouser stripe and short sleeve uniform shirts, your search is over! The Camp Lejeune Uniform Sales Shop has what you're looking for.
Call 1 (888) 267-3559 (Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM). Identify yourself as a former Marine and they will fill your order. They can handle all transactions over the phone as long as you have a valid credit card.
Dress Blue Trousers cost $31.75, Short Sleeve Uniform Shirts cost $19.65 and the NCO Trouser Stripe costs $2.85. Shipping costs are extra.
The detachment gets several requests for Color Guards throughout the year and for quite a while the same detachment members have been carrying the weight of those Color Guards. We need more members to step up and volunteer for these Color Guard requests. So if it's within your means, why not order these uniform items so you can help out when the need arises. It's yet another way you can support your detachment!

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR YOUR DETACHMENT, LET'S TURN OUT FOR THESE EVENTS.

Did you know… This past March, 2008, was the 90th birthday of our Women Marines? Opha Mae Johnson and 304 other women changed the face of the Marine Corps forever. It was 1918, WWI was raging in Europe when these women enlisted in the Marine Corps. They train at Parris Island, not at the Disneyland place in California. Make up and etiquette classes were the norm in days of old, but now the training standards are the same as the men.
Happy Birthday B…err… MARINES!
