Celebrating 16 Years of Service
Dear Marine families,

MarineParents.com, Inc., was founded nationally 16 years ago on January 21, 2003 to provide support, information, and services to Marines and their family members, and create opportunities for the public to support our troops through the organization's outreach programs.

God bless and Semper Fi!
Sign Up for Team Marine Parents

The mission of Team Marine Parents is to provide the framework for individuals to participate in athletic events nationwide while raising funds and promoting awareness of the organization's outreach programs.

Team Marine Parents (TMP) has been accepted as a U.S. Marine Corps charity partner for the 7th year in a row. Through charity partners such as TMP, thousands of individuals from around the country have the opportunity to compete in the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) while raising funds in support of a personal cause. This year, TMP will have 50 bibs available to TMP participants.

MarineParents.com Unit Information Pages
The UIP (Unit Information Page™) is a 1-2 page all-inclusive resource of information for the Marine Corps unit of your Marine once assigned to his/her PDS. The page includes the unit history and location, USMC contact information, and web sites for each unit.

Featured TMP Participant:
Erika Devenney
This is Erika's sixth year to run, and her third year to support TMP. She says, "There is no greater joy than knowing that whenever I lace up my running shoes, it benefits an amazing organization that provides information and offers outstanding programs to support Marines and their families. It's the best way I know how to thank my son and his fellow Marines for their service."

Transition Assistance Programs
Before your Marine's end of active service (EAS) date, he or she will be required to go through a series of classes, discharge medical checks, terminal leave documents, separation documents, check out sheets, and more.

Deployment Center
The emotional roller coaster of your Marine's deployment may be more than tough—it may seem almost impossible to tolerate. You'll likely experience some combination of pride, fear, pride, anxiety, pride, worry, and more pride. Particularly during a combat deployment, the uncertainty of what is to come brings emotions and feelings that none of us thought would be part of our lives. But you are not alone. Thousands of other parents have the same emotions, and Marine Parents is "a Place to Connect & Share®" with those who are in your shoes and understand your emotions.
