This Month
As you know, the Marines' Memorial serves Veterans of all eras. Right now we're especially excited about making a difference in the lives of transitioning service members. Word is getting around about our Leadership Lessons Learned speaker series, and it's growing. If you know someone making the transition to civilian life, please tell him or her about Randy Hetrick's talk on the 19th. And please support this important program with a donation to the Educational Fund.
