Incorporated by an act of
Congress in 1937, the Marine Corps League
perpetuates the traditions and spirit of ALL Marines who
proudly
wear or who have worn the eagle, globe and anchor of the
Corps.
At Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 25
April 1913, Marines of the Second Provisional Brigade formed the
Marine Corps Association. John A. Lejeune, then a lieutenant
colonel, headed its first executive committee. The
purposes for which the MCA was formed have not changed: to
disseminate knowledge of the military art and science among
members; to provide for professional
advancement; to foster the spirit and
preserve the traditions of the Marine Corps; to
increase the efficiency of the Marine Corps and to further the
interest of the military naval services in all ways not
inconsistent with the good of the general government.
FRA is the professional
non-profit organization representing the interests of the
Enlisted members of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and
Coast Guard.
