From the Commandant
Greetings,
 
As commandant of Howlin Mad Detachment I have many responsibilities to the Marine Corps League and our detachment’s membership.  These responsibilities give me great pride and a sense of satisfaction as I am leading an outstanding group of Marines, FMF Corpsman and devoted supporters of the Marine Corps League.  There is one particular responsibility beyond the mission of the Marine Corps League and this detachment which gives me equal satisfaction:  The simple act of thanking a fellow service member, past or present, from any branch of our military, for their service to our country and its citizens.  This is a tiny gesture which takes very little effort, yet can have such a tremendous impact on the Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine who is the subject of this appreciation.  I am filled with a warmth when a veteran or active duty service member hears this thanks and I get to watch their eyes light up.  There are many veterans of wars past that never received much thanks, if any, for their sacrifices.  Unfortunately, some citizens of this country take too much for granted, including the fine instrument of their freedom, the United States veteran.  I call upon all citizens of this great country to take time out of their busy day to approach a service member, past or present, young or old, and thank them for their service.  You just might be surprised at what you find beneath the weathered face of an old soldier, the bright-eyed young female sailor, or the combat hardened Marine with that thousand-mile stare.  Remember, there is a human being with feelings behind that exterior.  Show your appreciation today.
 
 Semper Fi,

Charles O. Newcomb
Commandant
