Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and
fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the
interests of the United States Marine Corps, banding together those who are now
serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably
discharged from that service that they may effectively promote the ideals of
American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to
all Marines and former Marines and to their widows and orphans; and to
perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to
observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to
Marines.
