Department of Illinois About Us
The Marine Corps League was founded by Major General
John A. LeJeune and subsequently chartered by an act of Congress in 1937.
Throughout the years, Marines both young and old have become members to
fulfill the mission of the League. To
paraphrase that purpose: (a) preserve the traditions and to promote the
interests of the United States Marine Corps: (b) to band those who are now
serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably
discharged from that service together in fellowship that they may effectively
promote the ideals of American Freedom and Democracy.
To put it quite simply, “We are here to honor, respect and assist all
past, present and future Marines and the country we love.”
