Getting Involved
We currently have 14 chartered Marine Corps League Detachments located throughout the State of Colorado. Our earliest detachments were chartered in 1970 and most continue strong today. Several have their own Auxiliary Units, which also gives distaff members of your family a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends and take part in wonderful programs.
Who Can Join?
The League is comprised of honorably discharged as well as reserve and active duty Marines and FMF Navy Corpsmen with over 90 days of service. Those individuals that want to participate with the Marine Corps League but do not otherwise qualify may join as Associate Members.
Web Master's Note:

If you have suggestions, ideas or concerns about this website you are welcome to submit them for consideration and possible inclusion directly to the Web Master, not to anyone else.
WOUNDED WARRIORS RIDE THE WAVE TO REHABILITATION
The
Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation (JMMF) helped wounded Marines from Wounded
Warrior Battalion West, Camp Pendleton, Calif., learn how to surf May 5.
Ocean therapy is gaining recognition among military members for being an
alternative means to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation for Marines
challenged by Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, traumatic brain injuries and
other mental and physical illness. "We found surfing to be a catalyst for
the Marines that inspires them forward," said Carly Rogers, director of
programs for the JMMF. "The ocean therapy program takes the sport of surfing
and teaches Marines resilience themes and self-efficacy." The JMMF is a
non-profit organization which provides free ocean therapy surf sessions to
veterans, wounded warriors and youth from shelter facilities for abused and
foster children.
