The Tri-County Leathernecks were Chartered on October 16th, 2004 The Marine Corps League was founded by Major General Commandant, John A. Lejeune, in 1923 and chartered by an Act of Congress on August 4, 1937. Its membership of 60,000 is comprised of honorably discharged, active duty and Reserve Marines with 90 days of service or more, and retired Marines. It includes officer, enlisted, male and female members. The League is classified as a veterans / military service organization and was formed for the purposes of promoting the interests of the U. S. Marine Corps; to provide camaraderie and assistance to Marines, as well as to their widows and orphans; and to preserve the traditions of the U. S. Marine Corps. It is a not for profit organization within the provisions of Internal Revenue Service Code 50l (c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. League members participate in: - The Veterans Administration Voluntary Service Program, an assistance program for hospitalized veterans - A national Service Program, which provides assistance to veterans in a wide area of matters relating to their military service The League also: - Awards scholarships - Sponsors a National Youth Physical Fitness Program - Provides membership incentives - Participates in patriotic functions and provides representation to the U. S. Congress in legislative matters affecting the U. S. Marine Corps, national security and veterans benefits through its National Legislative Committee and its National Legislative Officer - Participates in Toys for Tots and other community based programs

PROJECTS

Marine For Life
The Marine For Life program offers Marines, transitioning from active duty, a source of information about the area they are considering locating in. The information can be about employment, schools, community services and a myriad of other things that might be of interest to the Marine. Employers, that desire to hire Marines, are listed with this program and brother and sister Marine Mentors,located near that area, are available to answer questions. The link to the web site is in the links section to the left.

Esprit De Corps
"For the honor of the fallen, for the glory of the dead", Edgar Guest wrote of Belleau Wood, "the living line of courage kept the faith and moved ahead." They are all gone now, those Marines who made a French farmer's little wheatfield into one of the most enduring of Marine Corps legends. Many of them did not survive the day, and eight long decades have claimed the rest. But their action has made them immortal. The Corps remembers them and honors what they did, and so they live forever. Dan Daly's shouted challenge takes on its true meaning -- if you hide in the trenches you may survive for now, but someday you will die and no one will care. If you charge the guns you may die in the next two minutes, but you will be one of the immortals. All Marines die, in the red flash of battle or the white cold of the nursing home. In the vigor of youth or the infirmity of age all will eventually die, but the Marine Corps lives on. Every Marine who ever lived is living still, in the Marines who claim the title today. It is that sense of belonging to something that will outlive your own mortality that gives people a light to live by and a flame to mark their passing. Marines call it esprit de corps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Semper Fi...
