Dear Marine families,

The mission of MarineParents.com is to provide support, information, and services to recruit and Marine family members and troops over the course of the life-cycle of your recruit or Marine's career in the Corps.

We have Facebook groups for each state that allow our members to connect and share with other Marine families in their area who are going through the same situations as them. Learn more in our first article.

Also in this newsletter: learn about PTS Awareness Month, meet our featured Team Marine Parent participant and volunteer, get your Marine Corps Marathon bib today, and learn how you can sponsor a Warrior Reintegration Bag.

Thank you for supporting our troops!

God bless and Semper Fi!
Join a Facebook State Group

We have Official MarineParents.com groups for all 50 states to give a more regional Place to Connect & Share in a state-specific group for your family members. It's another way to bond with other Marine parents, family and friends. We encourage you to join your state group to meet up with other Marine families in your areas. Semper Family!

We are there for Every Stage

Marine Parents is there for every stage of your Marine/Recruit's career through the Marine Corps. From the early stages as a Poolee and Recruit to transitioning back to civilian life, MarineParents.com has an abundance of information to help you on your journey.

June is Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month

According to the National Military Family Association, 1 in 5 service members who served in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom is, has been, or will be affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Sponsor Warrior Reintegration Bags

The Warrior Reintegration Bag includes a variety of items to accomplish two things: to provide resources to the warrior to aid in recovery, and to provide items to help re-establish their team identity.
