Franklin R Sousley #1095, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1095 — Bowling Green, KY. The detachment dates to 1990, when veterans home from Vietnam and the years that followed wanted a room of their own and a way to keep serving after the uniform came off.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Bowling Green. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says 3rd Wednesday, 6:00 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the detachment writes its own — Bowling Green, KY.

Showing up for the winter gift drive — Bowling Green

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is 3rd Wednesday, 6:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Bowling Green, KY.
