      Commandant's Message
      Discussion 
      First, I would like to thank Dan O’Connell for serving the Greater Nevada Detachment as Commandant for the past few years. He has been a very effective and vigorous leader. Second, I would like to thank all the past officers serving under Dan and other Commandants to bring us to where we stand today. I would also like to thank Ghost and his crew for continuing the great support and for hosting our meeting. I would name individuals but I’m afraid I would leave someone out, and no one should be left out. Now for the present. Thank you for having confidence in me and for giving me the opportunity to serve as your Commandant. I will endeavor to keep all the great things this detachment has achieved and will do my best to bring us forward with great assistance from our elected and appointed staff. If you notice anything we can do better I hope you will send us a message and if you notice us doing anything wrong I expect you to bring it to our attention. My agenda is as follows: Membership – We need to increase our membership and make our current members feel relevant. We would appreciate any help you can provide. Communication – The biggest problem I’ve noticed in almost all organizations is communication. We need to communicate from the top-down and from the bottom up. Currently, we seem to have lost communication at the Department level. I will push for greater communication with Department, Division, and National. In addition, I would like to have online meeting capabilities. Hopefully, we will not need to utilize media due to sickness or viruses, but as we’ve seen, we need to stay in touch. It would be great to be able to attend our monthly meeting even if you do not feel well enough to attend in person. Honor Guard – I would like to see more volunteers on the Honor / Color Guard. More members mean a greater presence for those who have served. Families are always extremely grateful, even at those times when they’re going through difficult times. I have presented the flag on many occasions and can tell you I feel humbled and have a sense of pride that I can send off a veteran who did their part to keep us free. Social Night – Every Friday night is social night. Normally, this begins around 1800. However, if you arrive early I encourage talking to others in the club. Make them feel welcome because they are welcome and if someone would like to join, ask the bartender for an application. They have a binder with application forms. Applications may also be completed and submitted online at our website, https://www.gnd186mcl.org/ . Get in conversations and find out what brought them in, what was their MOS, where did they go to basic training, etc. Lastly, National would like to see a Suicide Prevention Task Force in each detachment. If you are interested in helping out, please let us know. Semper Fidelis, Wesley D. Edmunson

      2020 Birthday Message from the MCL National Commandant
      Discussion 
      From: Dennis Tobin, National Commandant/CEO//MCL To: All Members of the Marine Corps League Subj: 2020 Birthday Message from the MCL National Commandant The United States Marine Corps is celebrating its 245th Birthday. November 10, 1775 is celebrated in every clime and place where Marines may be. Regardless of job duty or tenure in the Corps, Marines hold our history in the highest of regards. Our beloved Corps of Marines continues to instill this deference in the newest recruits. Founded in 1923 and chartered by the U. S. Congress in 1937, the Marine Corps League continues to preserve the traditions of our Corps. Our membership is spread across the Nation. We come from every city, county, and state just as the Marines currently serving in the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps League is dedicated to services like funeral honors, Toys for Tots, and assisting transitioning Marines and their families. Our efforts, through patriotic volunteerism, directly support the Commandant of the Marine Corps and our Marines. Thank you for what you do every day. We have strengthened our partnership with the Marine Corps Association and Foundation to foster the spirit and preserve the traditions of the Marine Corps perpetuated by history on common ground dating back almost one hundred years to our common founder LtGen John A. Lejeune. This partnership will further support the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Berger, and his successors. As Marines around the world continue to serve in harm’s way to keep us safe, let us take time to once again celebrate the glorious history of our beloved Corps. Happy Birthday Marines
