The Marine Rose Program

In 1778, during the War of Independence, the Marine Corps Rose was dedicated to those Marines who made the Ultimate Sacrifice for their country. This tradition was continued by the French during World War One when the Marines attacked the Germans in the trenches at Belleau Wood, Roses were planted by the grateful French people at the graves of the Fallen Marines. When and wherever you see Leaguers or Young Marines distributing these remembrances take one and wear it proudly.

Started by Marine Edwin Gallagher from New York, designed to parallel the VFW “Poppy” program to provide funds for detachments to assist veterans and youth and provide other services to the community. Homeless veteran assistance and their families, Health and comfort for hospitalized veterans, Support programs for hospitalized or retired veterans in Retirement homes, Scholarships and Humanitarian Aid.

Always A Pleasure!
