Detachment 1088 - London, England

From the halls of Montezuma  To the shores of Tripoli',  We fight our country's battles  In the air', on land, and sea.  First to fight for right and freedom,  And to keep our honor clean,  We are proud to claim the title  Of United States Marine.  Our flags unfurled to every breeze  From dawn to setting sun';  We have fought in every clime and place  Where we could take a gun.   In the snow of far-off northern lands  And in sunny tropic scenes,  You will find us always on the job  The United States Marines.  Here's health to you and to our Corps  Which we are proud to serve;  In many a strife we've fought for life  And never lost our nerve.  If the Army and the Navy  Ever look on Heaven's scenes,  They will find the streets are guarded  By United States Marines.

******** CALENDAR ********

The Marine Corps League is the organization for all Marines.  It takes great pride in crediting its founding in 1923 to World War I hero, then Major General Commandant John A. Lejeune.  It takes equal pride in its Federal Charter, approved by An Act of the Seventy-Fifth Congress of the United States of America and signed and approved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 4, 1937.  Since its earliest days, the Marine Corps League has enjoyed the support and encouragement of the active duty and reserve establishments of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Purposes.  The purposes of the Marine Corps League as prescribed in its Federal Charter are:

...to preserve the traditions and to promote the interest of the United States Marine Corps;

...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 the American freedom and democracy;

...to fit its members for the duties of citizenship and to encourage them to serve as ably as citizens as they have served the Nation under arms;

...to hold sacred the history and memory of the men and women who have given their lives to the Nations;

...to foster love for the principles which they have supported by blood and valor since the founding of the Republic;

...to maintain true allegiance to American institutions;

...to create a bond of comradeship between those in the service and those who have returned to civil life;

...to aid voluntarily and to render assistance to all Marines and former Marines as well as to their widows and orphans;

...to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of peculiar interest to Marines.
