DETACHMENT #792, HUNTINGTON, L.I., NEW YORK

OUR MISSION.....

Welcome to the Marine Corps League, Huntington, New York Detachment 792 website. The Marine Corps League exists to provide support to Marines and the Marine Corps Family, to honor all veterans regardless of their military affiliation, and to provide community support through contributory programs and scholarships, as well as Boys and Girls Scouting programs. The men and women Marines of the Huntington Detachment are proud of their affiliation with the Marine Corps Reserves' annual Toys-For-Tots Campaign which occurs in December and provides thousands of toys to underprivileged children throughout Long Island. Lastly, the Huntington Detachment is committed to maintaining the values and traditions set forth by the United States Marine Corps over its 233 year history. "Once a Marine, Always a Marine" isn't just a phrase, but an honor earned by all who proudly wear the Eagle Globe & Anchor. Semper Fidelis.

COMMANDANTS CORNER

ONCE AGAIN 792 HAS COME TO A CROSSROADS. WE CAN STAY AT THE ATRIA, AND THEY HAVE BEEN BOTH LOYAL AND GRACIOUS HOSTS. OR WE CAN CHOOSE TO LEAVE FOR THE MORE MILITARY ELWOOD-ELWOOD VFW POST. THE CONSENSUS OF YOUR PRESENT STAFF WAS THAT, SINCE WE ARE A MILITARY ORGANIZATION, WE SHOULD SEEK OUT OUR "BANDS OF BROTHERS" IN THE VETERAN COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE THE CAMARADERIE THAT ONLY VETERANS CAN SHARE. THEREFORE, I AM ANNOUNCING THAT WE WILL BE MOVING TO THE ELWOOD-COMMACK VFW POST 9263 AT 319 CUBA HILL ROAD IN ELWOOD. BECAUSE THE VFW HOLDS THEIR MEETING ON (LAST) THURSDAYS, WE ARE CHANGING OURS TO WEDNESDAYS. I INVITE ONE AND ALL TO JOIN ME AT OUR NEXT MEETING. THIS BUILDING WAS COMPLETELY REFURBISHED IN 2008. PLEASE JOIN US AS WE EMBARK ON OUR LATEST ADVENTURE. 2009 WILL DEFINITELY BE A YEAR TO REMEMBER!
