Within the detachment,

there is no award higher than that of, the

"Marine of the Year".

This award can only be bestowed upon a

Marine Corps League member by the

Marine of the Year Society. 

​

All detachments have a Marine who performs and displays the dedication, leadership qualities and principles of a good

Marine above all others. 

​

It is this Marine who is always willing to roll up his/her sleeves, to do that tough job, the daunting tasks or put in the long hours of personal sacrifice, without hopes of reward, all to achieve the goals of the detachment and the

Marine Corps League. 

​

All of this, is evaluated through the Marines participation, and noteworthy accomplishments, perseverance and devotion to duty.

"Marine of the Year"

is the award to recognize that special Marine.
