This Month
Those of you both in and out of California are surely aware of the devastating fires and blackouts throughout the state in the last month. The Marines’ Memorial continues to support those displaced from their homes as best we can, whether housing them at the Club & Hotel at a subsidized rate, or assisting them in finding another hotel with availability.
Although our “Aid & Assist” fund has a primary support focus for our Active Duty service members, this program also allows us to offer our members a deeply discounted rate during tragedies like wildfires. Thank you for helping us to support fellow Veterans and active military with your generosity. |
