Help us meet our last challenge -- we are looking for 5 donors to make a monthly donation to MCAF. Will it be you?

Today, members, donors, and friends of the Marine Corps all over the world come together to support our programs to enhance the professional development of Marines on our third annual Giving Day.

Thousands of Marines will feel the impact of your gifts in a variety of ways including awards they receive at the Corps' formal schools and in their units, books from the Commandant's Professional Reading List provided at no cost to junior Marines, battlefield studies to learn the lessons of history and apply them to today’s challenges, and writing contests to help them become better critical thinkers and leaders.

"The Okinawa battle site tour is one of the best ways for Marines to understand their history here on the island of Okinawa. I found the tour to be extremely informational and interesting. Learning and seeing where Marines before me fought, and what conditions and terrain they had to endure, puts into perspective how exemplary the Marine fighting spirit is. I believe it is important for Marines to attend professional military education trips like this because it reinforces a sense of pride Marines have for those who came before us."
