This MonthThis will be a holiday season like none we’ve ever known. Your Marines’ Memorial family wishes you all of the warmth and light of the season, plus good health to carry you through to better times.
We continue to maintain our Living Memorial and its programs as best we can. All of this is still made possible only by the support of generous members and patriot supporters like you. Below are a few ways your donor dollars are making a difference:
$90 fills and sends a care package to our troops overseas this holiday season.
$250 ensures our Living Memorial displays and 10M Memorial Tribute Wall are consistently updated and cared for.
$500 supports our programs focused on leadership and mentorship for our young and recently separated veterans.
$1200 brings a Gold Star Parent to the Honor and Remembrance Event.
GIVING TUESDAY is December 1st! How would you like to help?
Also of note for December:
> MMA offices will be closed on Christmas Day, December 25th.
> Our Club’s New Year’s Eve Celebration won’t take place this year.
> HAPPY 384th BIRTHDAY to the Army National Guard!
> HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY to the US Space Force! |

Webb also served as Secretary of the Navy and as Counsel for the US House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
