Dear Fellow Members of the Marine Corps League,
As we gather in spirit this holiday season—whether around a warm hearth with family, on watch far from home, or in quiet reflection—we pause to honor the timeless values that bind us: Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Christmas reminds us of the light that endures even in the darkest hours. Just as Marines have stood sentinel through countless winters, from frozen Chosin hills to desert outposts under starlit skies, we carry forward that same unbreakable spirit. This season, may the peace of Christmas fill your hearts, bringing comfort to those who have lost brothers and sisters in arms, joy to your families who share in our sacrifices, and gratitude for the freedoms we have defended together.
As 2025 draws to a close and 2026 approaches, let us renew our pledge to one another and to our Corps. The Marine Corps League remains our vital link—supporting veterans, preserving our proud heritage, mentoring the next generation, and serving communities across this great nation. Your dedication, whether through detachment meetings, honor guards, Toys for Tots drives, or simply being there for a fellow Marine in need, makes a profound difference every day.
To every Devil Dog, young and old, active, reserve, and veteran: Thank you for your service. May the New Year bring you good health, renewed strength, and the camaraderie that only Marines truly understand. Semper Fidelis—always faithful to our Corps, our country, and each other.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous, purposeful New Year.
Semper Fi,
T.J. Morgan
National Vice Commandant
