Thank you to all the of our league members who came out to participate in the CNY Veterans Parade and Expo. The purpose of the CNY Veterans Parade and Expo is to thank veterans for their military service and to recognize their importance in our communities.
On October 24, Oliver Jackson and George Hotaling presented Dr. Armand J. Cincotta with his life membership certificate, at his home. Dr. Cincotta is 88 years young!
Dr. Cincotta was George's Lt. in the Marine Corps, when we were both stationed in an artillery unit on Okinawa in 1959. He later was his physician until he retired. A great Marine!

UNIFORMS OF THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE

MEDALS and MEDALLIONS may not be worn on the UNDRESS UNIFORMS.

Only one of these devices, medallions, or collars, may be worn at a time at the option of the wearer.
