hi, I'm reaching out to see if anybody can help me. My grandfather is a Korean war vet, Chosin Few, and he's turning 90 on April 30th. He's a member of this division and we would like to do something special for his birthday, like perhaps a drive-by. Thank you for your time let me; know if there's anything I can do.

His name is Kempton Hicks and he lives in Woodmere, Long Island, NY.

My father in law, Thomas M Reilly, a Marine and long term member of the Marine Corps League, passed away today. I’m trying to get info on how we can get info out to other members and to ask if there is anything that the league does at a funeral for someone.



He was honorable discharged as a corporal E3 on 10/31/1962. His league ID number was PLM 3298 or 1644738. I was given those numbers by his son, but I have no idea what they are. I do know that the MCL was an important part of his life for many years before retirement.



I would greatly appreciate it if someone could call me. My phone number is below.



Thank you,



Ivy Reilly

Need a local member to take over this page. No longer living on Long Island.

Our very own Continental Marine Pvt B. Jones has added himself into the lineage of Marine Corps history as he graduated USMC basic training at MCRD San Diego 14 Sept 2018. The Continental Marines are really proud of his earning the title United States Marine Corps. Congratulations PFC Jones!
