    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!

    My Marine just left to ITB...

    I'm new to this site and have been doing tons of research trying to get my questions answered so I thought I'd try asking here too. My Marine just left for ITB Tuesday. I know they usually get weekend liberty while there, but I wanted to know how soon he would be able to use his cell phone, go off base, or be visited on base? Things I read say it all depends. I hate not knowing, especially after having such a wonderful time on his boot leave, now I'm stuck not knowing when I might hear from him next. Could I hear from him tomorrow night or is liberty restricted during the first weekend? Help please!See More
