[email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________ PDD Phil Ruhmshottel rd rd Volume 16, Issue 3 53 Chief Devil Dog FIRESIDE THOUGHTS FROM THE 53 CHIEF Winter, 2009 There is nothing like the aroma of a big dog resting too close to the fire. It feels great too. Recently, I was relaxing in front of the fire while reading my department’s newsletter when I realized that since I joined the Marine Corps League in 1992 my department has grown by eight detachments and another was revived after many years of just sitting on the books. We have almost doubled the size of the department in the past 17 years. For a department as small as mine this is quite an accomplishment. Most of the new detachments and many of the older ones are very active and participate in a large number of MCL and community activities. Due Date for Spring Issue As Paul Harvey would say, “AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY”. During the WOOF-O-GRAM same time period while my pack has formed two new pounds we have had two pounds turn in their charter and several others are struggling to find able and willing 15 March 2010 members to fill out their slate of officers. Getting installation and other reports from INSIDE THIS ISSUE: some pounds can be worse than pulling teeth. I have seen strong active pounds lose members to the point where they barely have a quorum and go through the motions Sr.

Unfortunately, we must conclude on a sad note having to report the recent loss of two of our fellow members. Marine Fred Castonguay, who was a long time member and was known for his kindness by donating hand made Eagle Globe and Anchor license plates to our Birthday Ball event’s for gifts and raffle items each year.

    Welcome Aboard! A Handbook for Members of the Department of Georgia Marine Corps League Revision Date: 17 May 2012 1 of 44 WHAT IS THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE? The League is the only Federally Chartered, Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. The League was organized by then-Commandant John A. LeJeune in 1923. In 1937, Congress nationally chartered the League. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. The League is presided over by an elected Commandant and officers, with a full- time Executive Director and staff located in Virginia. The League's Objectives: Among the purposes for which the Marine Corps League was founded are: To preserve the traditions and to promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps; To band those who are now serving in the Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service together in fellowship that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy; To fit its members for duties of citizenship and to encourage them to serve as ably as citizens as they have served the Nation under arms; To hold sacred the history and memory of the Page 2 of 44 veterans who have given their lives to the Nation; To foster love for the principles which they have supported by blood and valor since the founding of the Republic; To maintain true allegiance to American institutions; To create a bond of comradeship between those in the service and those who have returned to civilian life; To aid voluntarily and to render assistance to all Marines and FMF Corpsmen and former Marines and FMF Corpsmen as well as to their spouses, orphans, and parents; To perpetuate the history of the U.S.

Leadership Primary and Secondary Objectives Primary- Accomplish the mission Secondary- Troop welfare Core Values – Honor, Courage, and Commitment Honor is the quality that guides Marines to exemplify ethical and moral behavior.
