The Department of New Jersey Honors Marine Corps Warriors! When we started the process to change our detachment name, we did so because we wanted to honor a great Marine Warrior. A Marine who lived where we do and in a feat of combat prowess and self sacrifice gave the ultimate full measure of devotion for our great nation. That was LCpl Jedh Colby Barker. Barker received the Medal of Honor when he heroically sacrificed himself on 21 Sept 1967. When we received our new charter we were all filled with a sense of pride that could not be expressed with mere words. It got me to thinking about the names of some of the other Detachments named for other fallen Marines, some well known others more obscure. I wanted to know more about these other MCL namesakes, so this is what I found BARKER out. First the obvious one, is a Detachment named for one of the most heroic and famous Marines of all time. The Basilone Detachment in Milltown is named for the hero of Guadacanal, who received the Medal of Honor. GySgt John Basilone, was born on 4 November 1916, and whose personal valor and determination in the face of overwhelming odds saved the day and held the line during a vicious enemy assault. He survived BASILONE the battle only to fall on Iwo Jima on 19 Feb 1945 in another great feat of heroism earning him a Navy Cross (posthumously). Another WWII Marine honored by a New Jersey Detachment is the Gardner Detachment. Located in South Plainfield their namesake also served on the Island of Guadalcanal, Joseph J. Gardner. Although he survived the battle, his luck would run out at home. He would be killed along with his bride in a terrible motor vehicle accident on their Honeymoon. The Detachment was formed in 1947 and chose Gardner as their namesake. The Danowski Detachment located GARDNER in Linden is named for Pvt Martin M Danowski. Danowski was a member of arguably the first and most elite of all of WWII’s Special Operations Forces, a Raider Marine. Assigned to Co. A of the 1st Raider Bn. Danowski fought in the Solomon’s campaign and was killed in action on 14 September 1942. The Reynolds Detachment in Freehold named their unit in honor of a Korean War Marine. Cpl Philip A Reynolds of E Co. 2nd Bn, 1st Marines. He would receive a Silver Star posthumously for incredible heroism on 29 November 1950. He continually exposed himself to enemy fire, laying down deadly fire on the enemy. His actions were instrumental in repelling the enemy assault before he fell mortally wounded. His actions inspired and motivated his men to battle on. A remarkable Marine who is truly deserving of the namesake REYNOLDS honor. As Vietnam engulfed our Marine Corps into 10 years of combat, several warriors would distinguish themselves to the point of also receiving the honor of a NJ Detachment namesake. The Dorn Detachment of Port Monmouth is named for LCpl Philip K Dorn, of C Co. 1st Bn, 5th Marines. Dorn was killed in action in the RVN on 4 June 1966. The Slattery Detachment in Whippany is named for LCpl Robert J Slattery of 2nd Bn, 3rd Marines was killed in action at Quang Tri on 7 July 1967. DORN SLATTERY The Giordano Detachment of Somerdale is named in honor of Pvt Daniel Giordano of Co. B, 1st Bn 9th Marines was severely injured when his helicopter went down. He would die from his injuries on 18 May 1969. In 1984, Marines were on peacekeeping duty in war torn Lebanon. A few months after the deadly bombing at the US barracks in Beirut, LCpl George Dramis of the Peacekeeping force GIORDANO would earn the distinction of being the last Marine to fall in the mission on 3 January 1984. The Dramis Detachment of Cape May Courthouse now carries the name of this brave Leatherneck. Certainly a Marine who deserves to have his memory kept alive. The Paige Detachment of East Brunswick is named for GySgt DRAMIS James Paige. Paige a veteran of Beirut and Grenada who found himself as part of HMM-166 on a training exercise on 9 December 1999. He was onboard a CH-46 that went down killing the brave Aviation Marine. The 21st century found Marines again in harm’s way. This time in the War on Terror. Iraqi Freedom was a meat grinder. Defeating the Iraqi Army was the easy PAIGE part. The insurgency of Jihadist from around the world found American and Iraqi warriors fighting side by side against terrorism. On 7 Sept 2006 Marine Artilleryman of the 1st BN 10th Marines was serving in Al Anbar, Iraq. PFC Vincent Frassetto of Toms River, NJ was only 21 years old. He was killed while conducting combat operations in the area. The Toms River Detachment became the Frassetto Detachment in 2016. A truly fitting honor for their home town hero. FRASSETTO In Afghanistan Marines have served with valor in some of the roughest conditions in the WOT. The Reinhard Detachment of Avenel is named in honor of Cpl Kevin J Reinhard of HMH 363. Killed on 19 January 2012 when his helicopter went down, his memory remains as long as the Reinhard Detachment carries his name proudly. These amazing Marines’ names are carried with pride by the Leaguers who REINHARD wear their names on their covers. One of the greatest characteristics of Marines is our devotion to our past. No where is this more evident in the Detachments who are a living and breathing monument to these great Leathernecks and will forever keep their memories alive. Pearl Harbor Remembered With an Old Friend On 7 December 2016 the NJ Veterans Memorial Home in Paramus held a Pearl Harbor Remembrance. Senior Vice Commandant Albert Paul was on hand for the festivities. The event was held to honor the men and women that were attacked by the Japanese on that terrible day 75 years ago in 1941. There was a short ceremony with patriotic music and several speeches. Commander Bob Salvini of the Bergen County American Legion was the guest of honor. Two veterans from the Second World War were in attendance. While there, Tom Luyster, a charter member of our detachment was spotted and he and Albert chatted for a bit. He and his wife Helen now call the Vets home their SVC Paul with Past own. After the ceremony, refreshments were served and comradery MOY Tom Luyster among the Vets was the order of the day. A fine day to remember Pearl Harbor and thank our veterans for their service. Certainly a day to remember! Breakfast With Santa Another Huge Success On 10 December, SVC Albert Paul took part in the annual Applebee’s Breakfast benefiting Toys for Tots. Many veterans took part in the event including Sergeant Jamal Braithwaite of the USMC Recruiting Service. Sgt. Braithwaite spent the morning at the festivities with our Senior Vice.

This prehistoric man kept the fire going by piling up the moss for cooking and warmth. As man evolved, he invented hunting tools to kill animals, such as the Woolly Mammoth and other fur bearing animals for their skins to make clothes and their meat for food. Roving bands of people attempted to barter for the things they needed or sometimes took the materials they wanted by harming or killing the opposing party. Eventually, mankind learned to cultivate crops allowing him to settle in farms to provide food for his family. With these beginnings of civilization, leaders and councils were picked to organize communities and make decisions for the betterment of the citizenry. The leaders formed governments and declared certain regions for themselves; forming kingdoms, granting councils the ability to make laws, and enforce regulations.
