About

At Middle Peninsula Detachment #1317 Marine Corps League, our mission is to join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interest 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 the 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.

We offer a variety of services to veterans, including counseling, job training, and financial assistance. Our team is dedicated to helping veterans navigate the complex system of benefits and services available to them.

There are many ways to get involved with Middle Peninsula Detachment #1317 Marine Corps League and support our mission. You can volunteer your time, make a donation, or spread the word about our organization. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of veterans.
