Veterans Council of Chatham County

Our Detachment is one of 28 units that make up the Veterans Council. Veterans Council organizes and funds the annual Veterans Day Parade in Savannah, GA on the 11th Day of the 11th Month . Veterans Council coordinates veterans events and acts as clearinghouse for Veterans. The Council built the WWII Memorial on River Street, funded in part by Memorial Bricks, which are still being produced.

No Veteran Left Behind

The Marine Corps League is dedicated to helping all veterans. Whether it is to provide food for veteran families in need or to help feed homeless veterans. We are always in need of items and donations to help keep this program moving forward including non-perishable food items, gift cards, hygiene items, blankets, toys, and other much-needed items. We partner with many other organizations to keep this program alive. Please Donate to Help those in Need

Toys for Tots

We participate in our local Toys for Tots program in many ways. We can provide personnel to assist with sorting and bagging toys to be ready to hand out to local Non-Profit Organizations. We have some members that have trucks and will go out to drop off locations and collect toys to be brought back to the reserve unit. Whatever our coordinator needs, they know they can count on our full support.

Marine Corps Monument

One of our dearest and most enjoyable events in when we conduct a Memorial Ceremony each year on November 10th. What makes this ceremony so impressive is the fact the Savannah has many tourists and any time during the year. Anyone may take a seat at the ceremony and afterwards our detachment takes time to talk with everyone. Before the ceremony, the detachment meets for breakfast each year. Our Detachment takes pride in mainting the condition of the monument to the best of our ability. In 2024, all the plaques were restored.

Eagle Scout Awards

The Marine Corps League considers it an Honor and Privilege to recognize America's future leaders for earning the Scouts of America Eagle Scout Award by presenting them the Marine Corps League's "Good Citizenship Award" Certificate and to have the Eagle Scout become aware of the skills that he has mastered to become an Eagle Scout are also held in very high regards by the Marine Corps League and Corporations throughout the United States. The local Marine Corps League will make every effort to be able to have a member attend the ceremony in order to present the award.
