We are a detachment of the Marine Corps League
The Marine Corps League is nation-wide and is the only congressionally chartered United States Marine Corps-related veterans organization in the United States. The league comprises 1,140 local detachments grouped into 48 departments covered by 10 regional divisions.
Gooney Bird Detachment is in the New Jersey Department and holds monthly meetings in Teaneck, Bergen County, NJ.
Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps, banding together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from the Marine Corps that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen, FMF Chaplains, and their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and to observe by fitting acts the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
The Marine Corps League lives and strives to practice our motto of Marines helping Marines.
Once a Marine, always a Marine!
