You can also follow us on Facebook to keep up with any changes and new events that may arise. Our Website also has a calendar section listing all our events.

With a heavy heart we will pay our respects to our past Commandant Jack Schuster. Jack passed while surrounded by his loving family after his battle with cancer.

I'm a conservative because I believe in peace - real peace, not just the peace of mind. I'm a conservative because we understand that real peace comes from the Marine Corps, not the Peace Corps.
