​

Shared that the detachment voted unanimously to sponsor a new Young Marines unit located in Battle Ground, Washington with Alex Baran.  The community is excited about it and eagerly backing it.

Our Emblem, our Flag, our Swords and our Uniforms are all symbols that represent our illustrious history and our elite warrior ethos.  These symbols connect today's Marines to the entire lineage of "Warriors" who, since 1775, have earned their places in this country's history as the Few, the Proud, the Marines.
