The
Montford Point Marine Association is a nonprofit Veteran's organization,
established to perpetuate the legacy of the first African Americans
who entered the United States Marine Corps from 1942 to 1949, at Montford Point Camp, New River, North Carolina.
Membership in the Association is open to veterans and active members
of all branches of the U. S. Armed Forces regardless of race, creed,
or national origin.
The
purpose of the Association is to support educational assistance
programs, veterans programs, and promotion of community services.
The Association works to improve the social conditions of our veterans,
local families, youth and the growing population of senior citizens.
Throughout
the year, the Association is busy with activities that create camaraderie,
goodwill, and esprit de corps, both locally and nationally. The
activities vary from chapter to chapter and include, but are not
limited to youth programs, visits to various organizations and veterans support agencies as well as delivering food and much need items to the sick and shut in during times of distress.
Montford
Point Marine Association also consists of the Ladies Auxiliary. Membership
in the Ladies Auxiliary is open to wives, daughters, sisters, and
mothers of members or former members of the United States Armed Forces. If you have any questions or would like more information click here.
