Welcome to the Kalamazoo Detachment #879 of the Marine Corps League

Your country needed you then, the Marine Corps League needs you now!  Continue the Mission with us.  “Charlie Mike, over.” 

The Kalamazoo Detachment was formed in 1994 and we continue to enjoy our 25+ years of dedication and camaraderie.

We are among the most active Veteran groups in the area.  We meet because we enjoy having a good time in each other’s company while serving the Corps and the community.

Join us on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 1900.  We meet at the Red Arrow VFW Post at 1920 E. Kilgore Service Rd, Kalamazoo, MI 49002 (near I-94 and the North end of the airport).
