About the Marine Corps League
The Marine Corps League was founded in 1923 by Major General Commandant John A. Lejune. The total membership is nearly 56,000 and is comprised of honorably discharged, active duty and Reserve Marines with 90 days of service or more, and retired Marines. It includes officer, enlisted, male and female members.
The Marine Corps League is headed by an elected National Commandant, with 14 elected national staff officers who serve as trustees. Day-to-day operations are under the control of the executive director who supervises the day to day performance of the national headquarters staff, located at 8626 Lee Highway in Fairfax, Virginia.


Big D Detachment
The Big D Detachment is an active unit of the Marine Corps League. In keeping with the leagues mission we provide camaraderie and assistance to Marines, as well as to their widows and orphans; and work to preserve the traditions of the U.S. Marine Corps.  It was founded on 12 December 1972
