The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is making the dream of a National Museum of the Marine Corps a reality in Quantico Virginia. The museum, scheduled to be dedicated on 10 November 2006, is a unique opportunity “ to honor those Marines who preceded us…to confirm our heritage…to share with our nation, and with each other, the riches of our experiences… and to leave a lasting and glorious legacy for the future.” The 1st Recon Battalion Association Memorial Fund honors the Marines and Corpsmen who gave their lives in service to their country while serving with the battalion. Our goal is to donate $25,000. 00 to the National Museum of the Marine Corps in memory of our fallen comrades. A plaque placed in the National Museum memorial park will commemorate our memorial gift. Your help is needed in order to reach our goal by November 2006. To date, $19,965 has been donated to the Memorial Fund. Although we are close to reaching our goal, we still have a way to go. If you haven’t contributed, do so. If you have contributed, consider an additional contribution. Your ideas and financial support will enable us to reach our goal! Let us know of any potential corporate donors to contact and appropriate ways to raise additional funds, such as the sale of Memorial Fund bracelets. Contributions may be made by check or money order payable to:
