Over the last few years I have been involved with the Salem County Marine Corps League volunteering time to be with our disabled veterans at the Wilmington, Delaware, Veterans Administration Medical Center Nursing Home

The Marine Corps League, along with the Marine Corps League Ladies Auxiliary has several programs such as a regular bi-monthly Bingo Afternoon, Annual Carnival and a Christmas Party to entertain our disabled veterans.

These events are funded on the most part by the Marine Corps Rose Program where volunteers are stationed at the Acme and Walmart in Pennsville and Woodstown accepting donations for a Marine Corps Rose. We thank everyone for their donations to support these activities.
