Your Marine Club News for January 2022

A newsletter from a fellow Bay Area veterans organization.

JANUARY 2022: GRATITUDE

Happy New Year! May 2022 bring you good health, good fortune, and great hope for brighter days ahead. We look forward to seeing you here at the Club soon!

The continued generosity of our members and patriotic supporters through 2021 helped us stay focused on every aspect of our mission. We were able to welcome back more staff, send hundreds of care packages, maintain and upgrade our beloved Club building, and present some wonderful events. THANK YOU!

Won’t you help us continue the momentum we’ve built together with a Recurring Gift to the Marines’ Memorial? Even $10, $20 or $30 a month makes a big difference at the end of the year!

Also of note for January:

> MMA Membership and Development offices will be closed on Monday 3 January for the New Year holiday.

> PLEASE BE PREPARED: The San Francisco Department of Public Health requires us to verify full vaccination status of all event attendees, as well as those wishing to use our Club’s bar, restaurant, and fitness center. We appreciate your understanding.

MEET THE AUTHOR – 20 JANUARY: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Angel Fire – War, Remembrance, and an American Tragedy

Join us as Steven Trout tells the story of Marine Lieutenant David Westphall, who was killed near Con Thien on May 22, 1968, and of his family’s struggle to create and maintain a unique memorial chapel dedicated to the memory of all Americans lost in the Vietnam War and to the cause of world peace.

Dr. Trout was inspired to undertake this project after discovering the memorial at Angel Fire in 2011.
