The Association is a “Special Purpose” Marine Corps League detachment that has maintained and made improvements to the original Memorial since 1977.
The mission of the Marine Corps League is to promote the interest and to preserve traditions of the United States Marine Corps; strengthen the fraternity of Marines and their families; serve Marines, FMF Corpsmen, and FMF Chaplains who wear or who have worn the Eagle, Globe and Anchor; and foster the ideals of Americanism and patriotic volunteerism.
Colorado is home to many Marines and the Colorado State Department of the Marine Corps League gives Marines and FMF Corpsmen a chance to be part of an outstanding group of Devil Dogs. The Marine Corps League is comprised of Marines and Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsmen. Our ranks comprise the active, reserves, retired and honorably discharged Marines/FMF Corpsmen with 90 days or more of service. Some of our detachments also have a dedicated auxiliary unit, that welcome all people whom share a interest in the Marine Corps into our ranks as auxiliary members.
The Auxiliary was formed for the purposes of promoting the interests of the U. S. Marine Corps, the Marine Corps League and to protect and advance the welfare of Marines and their dependents. Auxiliary members participate in a wide variety of programs that benefit and preserve the fundamental rights and freedoms of every person of this Nation, young and old.
