Please keep all our Marines and family in prayer.

From the Chaplain - Give a Detachment member a call, or better yet, send a card, or a note. It only cost 44 cents and a little time to say Hey to a fellow Marine.

    If you know of a fellow Marine or family member in need, please contact one of the Detachment Officers.  In the event of serious illness, death, or need of assistance, please contact our Detachment Commandant, Janice Hartley, or Detachment Chaplain, Frank Martinez

We ask that you keep all our Marines and family in prayer.

 

From the Chaplain

   I urge every Veteran to take time out and check out the new VA Benefits. There are many new opportunities and benefits for Veterans that we all have earned and have been waiting for. Many new doors have been opened as of August 01, 2009. More than 45,000 veterans are expected to apply. The disability percentage has been reduced. Those that have served as little as 90 days after 11 Sept 2001 may qualify for education benefits. Spouses and dependent children may use some of the Veterans education as well. For more information go to www.va.postgibill.com or www.fra.org. Forms may be obtained and filled out on the Internet. Spouses with a power of attorney may apply for certain benefits for their spouse. If you need prescription help for all ages you may call also 1-573-996.3333,
