Help Remember Our Fallen Marines
Donation protected
Dear Friends Of Our Marines & Families,
Our United States Marines, ever since the birth of the Marine Corps in 1775, has a “Credo” which has been forever emblazoned in each one of our souls. Those words are “No Marine Ever Left Behind” and though “Fallen Never Forgotten.”
Sadly, during the Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) Wars our 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines (2/1) lost 29 Marines who were killed in action while defending the freedoms we hold so dear. Before any more time elapses it is very important to the Families of our Fallen, their Buddies they fought alongside with in Combat, and their fellow Active Duty Marines at Camp Horno-Camp Pendleton that a permanent Tribute be erected at the 1st Marine Regiment’s Memorial Park to honor the “Ultimate Sacrifice” they made.
An 18 Foot, beautifully appointed brick wall has just been donated and constructed at the Memorial Park. It awaits the fabrication and installation of a Bronze Plaque commemorating our 29 Fallen and Bronze Shield of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. The total cost to have these two pieces mounted and put in place is an achievable goal of $4,900.
To this end, your generous donations of any size, both large and small, are most welcome. Time is of the essence, as we would like to have this tribute in place by November 10th, the Marine Corps’ Birthday. Please act now and make this vision a reality
The Families of our Fallen, our Fallen 2/1 Marines, and our Marine Corps League-South Coast Detachment (501 {c}{4} Non-Profit-EIN:33-0450163) sincerely appreciate your support and outreach.
Semper Fidelis With Respect & Gratitude,
Pete Hammer - Commandant, Marine Corps League-South Coast Detachment
