A statement from the Marine Corps League on the recent shooting in Pennsylvania
The Marine Corps League (MCL) stands with our sister veteran-service organizations in
condemning the recent attack on [former] President Donald Trump. As individuals and as a
Nation, we must always remain tolerant and respectful regarding the differences of
opinions and beliefs; it is one of the founding principles in which this country was
established. As Marines on active duty, we are charged with supporting these principles
across the globe. As a Marine Corps veteran-service organization, we maintain the
embodiment of these principles.
Being non-partisan and non-sectarian, the MCL does not maintain any party affiliation;
similarly to our time as active-duty Marines. However, this does not prevent each individual
citizen from maintaining their own personal belief or their personal support for any one
party much less any one candidate over another.
A victim of this heinous act is a member of the MCL, one of our own. David Dutch serves as
Commandant of the Westmoreland Detachment #1416, from within the Department of
Pennsylvania. Our immediate support continues for David and his family as he continues
his recovery from this attack. We offer solace for David and his family along with eternal
thoughts and prayers for all the victims of this tragedy.
Semper Fidelis;
Warren Griffin
National Commandant/ CEO
Marine Corps League
