“Founded in 1923, the Marine Corps League (MCL) is an organization that perpetuates the traditions and spirit of ALL Marines and Navy Fleet Marine Forces Corpsmen, who proudly wear or have worn the eagle, globe and anchor of the Corps. Our mission is to promote the interest and to preserve traditions of the United States Marine Corps, to strengthen the fraternity of Marines and their families, to serve Marines, Fleet Marine Forces Corpsmen, and Fleet Marine Forces Chaplains, and to foster the ideals of Americanism and patriotic volunteerism. The League is the only federally chartered Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. In Minnesota, there are 15 detachments across the state.”
