Detachment 1149
"One City, Two State Detachment"
 

Welcome to Detachment 1149 of the Marine Corps League in Texarkana, Arkansas! We are a dedicated group of Marine Corps veterans and their families, committed to supporting fellow veterans and their loved ones. We proudly uphold the honor and traditions of the United States Marine Corps.

Incorporated by an act of Congress in 1937, the Marine Corps League upholds the traditions of all Marines who proudly wear or have worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor of the United States Marine Corps. Founded by Major General John A. Lejeune, Commandant of the Marine Corps, in 1923, the League is the only congressionally chartered Marine Corps-related veterans' organization in the United States.

Join us for our monthly business meeting, held on the third Thursday of each month at 1900 hrs (7:00 p.m. for those who prefer civilian time). As part of our Marine Corps family, we kick off each meeting with a potluck dinner. Bring your favorite dish and enjoy a meal with us! We meet at the Denver "Bull" Randleman VFW Post 4562, located at 4700 E 13th St., Texarkana, AR 71854.

Our detachment actively participates in fairs, festivals, and various events in our area to recruit fellow Marines and raise funds to support veterans and their families.

We are a family-friendly organization, so feel free to bring your children if you can't find a babysitter. We also host several family events throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!
