Thank You Marine Parents supporters!
Would you be interested in Live Chat here on MFN?
Click here to read more and give your opinion! Thanks for your feedback!
MFN Members have asked that we keep the live chat interface. For a trial period, we'll open it from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday the week of April 7, 2014.
YOU can send an American Flag (Made in the USA!) to a Marine in Afghanistan. The Marine can hoist the flag in Afghanistan, then bring it home to preserve as a family heirloom.
We will include the flag in a care package along with a card describing our "500 Flags for Heirlooms" campaign to 500 Marines in Afghanistan.
We're shipping 500 boxes on April 26th and we need funding to purchase 500 American-Made Flags. YOU can help:
Click here to donate a flag to a Marine!
Please Take Time to Pay Tribute to Our Fallen Marines

I love to share this video, and do so with each group I moderate prior to graduation.I do not just copy and paste....I have to watch it first, and then I share it. ENJOY!Our National Anthem is one that at the end I always seem to get extra water in my eyes but since my introduction into the Marine Corps..well I now have to pretend I have an issue with my contacts! LOL...for it is home of the brave that makes us the land of the free... Once I saw this video...I also have a deeper appreciation for our pledge. Your men when they see the sun rise and walked out of the woods are now Marines, they will hold that EGA in their hand and be told for the first time: Congratulations, Marine!!! There will be no phone calls today...NOT ALLOWED...nope just can't happen. So come sun down and no calls...YOU have a Marine.
