To salute the sacrifice of military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, May 13 has officially been proclaimed Children of Fallen Patriots Day. This date shows appreciation for the young people whose lives were forever changed in support of their parents’ service to our country. Too often, this tremendous sacrifice is overlooked, which is why Children of Fallen Patriots Day was created to applaud their resilience and strength.

#ICYMI: Watch our latest episode of Leading From the Front with Jake Harriman-- former Marine Recon Platoon Commander and founder of Nuru International and More Perfect Union-- on lessons learned in his battles with insurgents, global poverty, and American political partisanship.

RIP Hero: Edgar Harrell was the last surviving Marine on the USS Indianapolis that was hit by a Japanese torpedo in 1945. He survived for four days in shark-infested waters before he was rescued.

We are sad to announce the passing of Marines’ Memorial Volunteer, Len Noriega. Many of you will recognize Len’s smiling face as he spent many hours at the Club, the Library being his favorite part! Len served in the US Army during Vietnam and was honored to be a member of Marines’ Memorial. We will miss his positive attitude and contagious laughter. Thank you for your service, Len.
