NEWSLETTER Granite State Detachment #542 Marine Corps League December 2020 Quarterly Issue: 001 OORAH NEWSLETTER Granite State Detachment #542 Marine Corps League December 2020 Quarterly Issue: 001 Our operating expenses for the last four years were about COMMANDANT’S CORNER 8% ($2,550). Therefore, 92% of our funds were available to serve our mission. We made donations to the following recipients: Building Dreams for Marines; NH Run for the Fallen; NH Food Bank; Young Marines; Manchester VA Medical Center Bingo and Food Pantry; Veterans Park USMC Flag Pole; Hershel Williams Gold Star Family Monument in NH Veterans State Cemetery; Cathedral of the Pines; Manchester Expeditionary Brigade (MEB); GSD Scholarship Fund; 3 Marine Veterans in Need; Veterans Count; NH State Veterans Home; Marine Heritage Foundation; Winnacunnet ROTC; Home Base MGH; and the Jarheads Fallen 7 Fund. We have a good fund balance on hand to get us through our inability to fundraise during the Covid-19 pandemic. Hopefully, a vaccine is coming soon, and things will move toward normalcy for our nation and the world. Then, we can get back to fundraising. In addition to our fundraising support for Marine and FMF Corpsmen and Chaplain veterans, we promoted the traditions of the USMC and built our fraternity and esprit de corps.

    44_BL_033021 Motion for National Administrative Procedures Change 6 February 2021 Submitted by: S. C. O’Hara Commandant, John A. Lejeune Det. 332 References: 2019 National Bylaws as amended through this date. 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Background for change The National Bylaws and Administrative Procedures currently allow for Regular Membership for FMF Corpsmen and Navy Chaplains who meet the service criteria for Regular Membership contained in Bylaws Paragraph 515 a. (2) or (3), and for Associate Membership for those who do not meet these qualifications. While the intent of this is plain, to welcome into our membership those non-Marine personnel who serve alongside us with such dedication, the language used omits some non-Marine personnel who do meet that intent. Objective of change Remove the restrictions of the original language describing qualified Navy personnel. For example, Medical Officers are not “Corpsmen” and do not strictly fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (2); Religious Program Specialists are not “Chaplains” and so do not fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (3). There are additional Navy and other service personnel which serve in Marine units (for example, Navy Master Divers) who qualify for their Service’s FMF Warfare Qualification or equivalent, yet who are blocked from Regular Membership by our current Bylaws language. Current Language: 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Section 515. Categories of Membership a. Regular Membership. Only the following may be regular members of the MCL: (1) Marines who are serving or have served honorably* in the United States Marine Corps or the United States Marine Corps Reserve; (2) U.S.

One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
    Marine Toys for Tots Program Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Local Toys for Tots Campaigns 2018 1 August 2018 Hello 2018 Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators, Welcome to the 71st year of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program! Whether you are a brand-new coordinator starting a new campaign, or a veteran coordinator with decades of service to this outstanding cause, it is a privilege to work with you bringing the joy of Christmas to millions of less fortunate children across our great Nation. The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is a charity that is unmatched for many reasons. Its affiliation with the Marine Corps provides the entire organization, from small rural campaigns, to large metropolitan campaigns, and ultimately to the Foundation headquarters, the reputation that we not only do things right, we do the right things. The American public expects our Marine Corps not only to win our Nation’s battles, but to accomplish all its missions to the highest of standards. The American public has the same high expectation for the Marine Toys for Tots Program. This SOP, along with Marine Corps Order 5726.14F and Marine Forces Reserve Order (ForO) 5000-24.2, provide the policies and procedures to execute a successful campaign that the Marine Corps and American public will be proud of. There are several changes with the 2018 SOP which are more than can be listed in this introductory letter. I expect that each coordinator, both veteran LCOs with numerous years of service and first-year coordinators alike, to read and understand this document in its entirety.

  • John Philip Sousa Critiques Modern Music, 1930 Introduction Questions
    1 John Philip Sousa critiques modern music, 1930 Introduction John Philip Sousa (1854–1932), an American composer of classical music, served as the director of the United States Marine Band from 1880 to 1892. During Sousa’s time as leader of “The President’s Own,” as the band was called, he composed some of the best- known pieces of music closely associated with official functions of the United States government and military. These include the famous march “The Washington Post” as well as the equally well-known official march of the United States Marine Corps, “Semper Fidelis,” and the official march of the United States, “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” In this letter written just two years prior to his death, Sousa declared that the only true measure of the value of music was its beauty. For Sousa, music was inspired from “something above,” and the music of the 1920s was devoid of divine character. Questions for Discussion Read the Introduction and the document and then apply your knowledge of American history to answer the questions which follow. NOTE: A helpful resource can be online websites which can provide samples of Sousa’s music as well as a variety of the popular music of the 1920s. 1. Sousa was a well-respected composer of what is often referred to as military music. Compare the tempo and tunes of his most famous works with popular tunes from the 1920s that conformed to styles such as jazz, ragtime, Broadway show tunes, or blues. 2. To what extent is Sousa’s letter an example of a person who feels that “time has passed him by”? 3.
