At our MCL meeting Thursday night, we were given a presentation by a Marine Captain (local coordinator) of the Commandant's new "Marine For Life" program. All I can say is its about time this was put in place. God only knows how many of our brothers and sisters would have benefited from having such a program in the past. The whole concept of the idea is to provide actual support for Marines leaving active duty, be it in jobs, organizational support, emotional support, etc. One interesting by-product of the program is the Commandant's office deciding the those who have served are not former Marines or ex-Marines. We are now officially known as Veteran Marines .
