Department of Illinois

Detachments Dist. 1-4

 

    Detachments are comprised of active duty, retired and veteran Marines (which includes Navy Corpsmen who have served with FMF Marine Corps Units.)  There are also Associate members (not Marine Veterans but espouse the ideals of the Corps and have pitched in to help the Marine Corps League in various ways) as well as Honorary members.

      These members are the very life blood of the organization.  When the need arises, the MCL members are ready and willing to do what is needed to see that all veterans are cared for as if they were part of the family.   After all, we are all family and as the saying goes, “We Take Care of Our Own!”
