Our Marine Corps League is proud to be a Platinum Star Donor. Thank you to all the kind supporters of our Schuylkill Carbon Marine Corps League 2008 Marines Helping Marines Campaign.
All funds raised have gone to provide Aid and Comfort to wounded Marines and to help their loved ones be at their side during their recovery.

Newspaper Article Written By Times News Reporter Amy Zubek.
The "Marines Helping Marines", wounded Marines program, was established in the Spring of 2003 at the Bethesda Naval Hospital to provide extensive support for injured Marine Corps personnel and Navy FMF Corpsmen returning from the war on terror in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. Since then, the program has grown to include Balboa Naval Hospital , San Diego- Brooke Army Hospital, San Antonio- Walter Reed Hospital, Washington DC and the Wounded Warrior Regiment at both Camp Pendleton and Camp LeJeune.
What began as an effort to provide emotional support to these wounded Marines and Corpsmen quickly expanded into a need to provide material support in the form of needed health and comfort items. The injured Marines arrive at the hospital with no more than the hospital gowns on their backs. While the hospital provides the basic toilet items, very often, more is needed.
Currently, in addition to personal comfort items, the Marine Corps League provides financial assistance to the families who are visiting their Marines (taxi vouchers, restaurant vouchers, phone cards and limited housing funding) outings to professional baseball games for “outpatient” Marines (they are recognized by the PA announcer), C-D players, C-Ds, DVD movies, television sets and DVD players for the rooms (due to a shortage of TV’s in the hospital). Airline tickets and travel money to wounded Marines for emergency leave. We hold monthly cookouts on the hospital grounds for the walking wounded, and their visiting families, and the hospital staff to lift their spirits and speed their recovery.
