“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” —Mark Twain
Tell Other Veterans about the Marines’ Memorial Club
We depend on Veterans spreading the word about the benefits of membership in the Marines’ Memorial Association. You can help us by telling other Veterans some of the benefits of membership. In our Member Get a Member Program, you can earn free night stays at your Club. Point other Veterans to
www.MarineClub.com. (Be sure and tell them to list you as a refer- ence when they join).
“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question with- out debating it.” —Joseph Joubert
MMA’s Wellness Membership We have a solid relationship with Club One Fitness, the firm that operates our Health Club. The result is that because you are a Marines’ Memorial Member, you can join Club One for $50 per month, and have access to a network of Club One facilities.
“The inability to forget is infinitely more devastating than the inability to remem- ber,” —Mark Twain
Our Mission and Purposes
The mission of the Marines’ Memorial Asso- ciation:
“Maintain a Living Memorial honoring Marines and other Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, including Regular and Reserve Components, the US Coast Guard, the US Merchant Marine, and their reserves; to educate and perpetuate the achievements and the sacrifices of these Veterans; and to aid and assist these Veterans.”
We like to say that our purposes are to: “Commemorate, Educate and Provide Ser- vices.” We commemorate the sacrifices of our Veterans; we educate the public about those sacrifices through our programs; and we provide services to those brave young men and women currently serving in the US Armed Forces.
“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compas- sionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.” —George Washington Carver
