We band
together as Seagoing Marines and shipmates to renew and preserve the bonds that
grew out of 223 years of dedicated service at sea, and to preserve and remember
the historical incidents, missions, and accomplishments of all those United
States Marines assigned duty as part of the crew in the warships of the United
States Navy during the period 1775 to 1998.
Our memorial fund will establish
historical markers at various locations, assist in preserving some warships as
museums and assist in many ways the preservation and promotion of Marine Corps
history and tradition.
At the annual Fleet Review we will reunite with
shipmates and make new friends to perpetuate the history of our glorious Corps.
The United States Seagoing Marine Association does not participate in politics
nor do we wear any rank at our business meetings, or social events. We are all
