FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Marine Family,

Greetings to all as we begin our Memorial Day weekend.


We will remember and honor the sacrifice of our fallen comrades as we enjoy this holiday.


Planning carries on for our 76th Annual Reunion. Below is a survey that will guide us in making this another great gathering. Whether or not you plan to attend, your answer to the first question gives us an idea of how many members we can expect to attend.


Once the activities are decided, staff will get the registration forms out to you.


We are preparing to send out the ballots for election of officers for the 2023-2025 term. The mail drop is expected to be the end of June. Please vote and return your ballot.



Enjoy the holiday, and stay safe. Hope to see you in Vegas.

USMC COIN

We’re calling on all Marines and grateful Americans to contact Congress in support of the 250th Anniversary Marine Corps Coin

 

Time is running out!

Legislation authorizing the U.S. Treasury to mint commemorative coins in honor of the Marine Corps’ 250th Anniversary has been introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. More Members of Congress must sign-on as co-sponsors as soon as possible, or the legislation will not pass.

 

The 250th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps Commemorative Coin Act will allow Americans to substantially contribute toward the preservation of Marine Corps history without costing taxpayers a single cent.

 

How it works

Congress may authorize the production of two commemorative coins every year. The initial funds received from the purchase of these coins go directly toward production costs, so there are no costs to the taxpayer. Revenue beyond the production costs is then dedicated to a cause related to the coin. For the 250th Anniversary coin, those funds will support the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation’s historical and cultural programs that preserve, showcase and educate the public on Marine Corps history, traditions and culture. 

 

Why it’s important

A coin minted in 2005 for the 230th anniversary of the Marine Corps was one of the most popular in U.S. Mint history! The revenue from that coin helped fund the construction of the National Museum of the Marine Corps—an award-winning cultural institution that has welcomed visitors from around the world.

 

We believe a coin marking the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps will be just as popular. The funds generated will enable the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation to continue to support the National Museum of the Marine Corps and take the history, tradition, culture and values of the Marine Corps beyond the Museum’s walls to Americans across the country. 



How you can help

It’s simple! Contact your Members of Congress and tell them to support the

250th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps Commemorative Coin Act (H.R.1096 for the House of Representatives and S.305 for the U.S. Senate).

TAPS

The TAPS report for this newsletter has not been run since October 2022 due to a software issue. HQ office now has new computers, and updated database software, allowing this report to be run again.


We regularly send out the roster to an updating service. They are good, but not perfect. The older reports here are names that were previously missed. Our ongoing Lost Patrol effort searches public records. That work is now halfway through the roster.


Please report to HQ the passing of any Marine you know.

Association member or not, we honor their life and service in this report.


More recent passings are in bold.
