Help the Atlantic Coast Young Marines Cross the Finish Line

The remarkable and loving aged 8 to 18 Atlantic Coast Young Marines spend hundreds of volunteer hours helping veterans and our communities while they focus on building the leadership, discipline, and teamwork of being Young Marines.  Their dedication earned them the 2023 Division 3 Unit of the Year – as one of the top 6 Units in the NATION. 

These Young Marines have undertaken the worthy goal of learning World War II History firsthand. Please help them get to Normandy, France, and Germany from June 3 – 15, 2023, for the unforgettable educational tour, including:

                          D-Day Remembrance Ceremony in Normandy         –              Museums           
                          Meet some remaining World War II Veterans            –              Cemeteries
                          Beaches of Normandy                                               –              Memorials

The trip will cost roughly $4,500 for each Young Marine.  Their goal is to bring 20.  The Young Marines are working hard to raise money with their car washes, tables around town at events and stores, silent auctions, raffles, door-to-door donation drives, and donation drives in the community.  

Hard work and dedication have brought the Youn Marines to
75% of their funding goal.
Now they need our help to cross the finish line –  go here to help.

“My goal with this great undertaking is to teach our Young Marines in the most direct way possible the great sacrifices that have been made and the need for us to never become passive in our pursuit of justice and freedom,” said Rosanne Vernon, Unit Commander, Atlantic Coast Young Marines.
