These two Marines have held many offices within the Detachment and the Department, and their actions during these times and their active duty military careers have shaped lives for generations to come. They will be missed but never forgotten. Their legacy lives on and each of us should strive to accomplish a fraction of what they have. Do that, and our time here on earth will also be meaning full.

Hey Marine– how about getting’ with the program and finding us some cars!
To All Hiram I Bearss Marines: The final steps are being taken to close on our new barracks (550 South Audubon) next week. Once the closing occurs, we need to get the new Barracks ready for our move in…which will occur in late October or early Novem-ber. The help of all of our detachment Ma-rines, Associates, Auxiliary, and family and friends will be needed to clean things up, get the renovations and painting done, and make sure that the move comes off without a hitch. I’ll be posting a volunteer work schedule soon and I ask that you make yourself available as much as you possibly can. Remember, the more of us that pitch in, the less each individ-ual will have to work. Let’s make this project one where “all hands are on deck”.
