Marine Parents Celebrates 10 Years of Service
MarineParents.com was founded on January 21, 2003 by Marine parent Tracy Della Vecchia as a way to provide support, information, and services to Marines and their families. Almost from its inception, the mission quickly expanded to include opportunities for civilians to support the troops. Many programs are now expanding to provide services to military personnel in all branches of the service.
In ten years of service from January 2003 through January 2013, the organization has made a huge impact in support of Marines, military personnel, and their families. The programs are designed to assure the support provided garners help from the American public while maintaining the privacy of military personnel.
