McHenry County Marine Corps League #1009
The McHenry County Marine Corps League is where Marines and their families continue the mission together. We support one another, reach out to veterans in need, and give back to the communities throughout McHenry County we proudly call home. Here, service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off—it grows stronger through fellowship, compassion, and commitment. Whether you’re a veteran looking for support, a Marine ready to reconnect, or a community member who wants to honor and serve. Our Detachment, the League is your place to belong. For businesses who wish to support veterans in McHenry County, we are a trusted partner. By supporting us, by giving, you are supporting a worthy cause. . . . . . . our veterans.
From our Commandant to you. Watch the video too.
It gives me great pleasure to address you all today. Over the past years, our dedication, discipline, and commitment to excellence have brought pride to our community. Our Detachment members will continue to uphold the values of integrity, teamwork, and perseverance in every task we undertake to serve you!
As we progress forward with new leadership, I know we will continue to lead the way in providing opportunity, service, and mission accomplishment to our veterans.
We will keep pushing forward with courage and determination.
