The Marine Corps League perpetuates the traditions and spirit of ALL Marines and Navy FMF
Corpsmen, who proudly wear or who have worn the eagle, globe and anchor of the Corps. It takes
great pride in crediting its founding in 1923 to World War I hero, then Major General Commandant John
A. Lejeune. It takes equal pride in its Federal Charter, approved by An Act of the Seventy-Fifth
Congress of the United States of America and signed and approved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt
on August 4, 1937. The League is the only Federally Chartered Marine Corps related veterans
organization in the country. Since its earliest days, the Marine Corps League has enjoyed the support
and encouragement of the active duty and Reserve establishments of the U. S. Marine Corps. Today,
the League boasts a membership of nearly 61,000 men and women, officer and enlisted, active duty,
Reserve Marines, honorably discharged Marine Veterans and qualified Navy FMF Corpsmen and is one
of the few Veterans Organizations that experiences increases in its membership each year.
