Sgt Rodney M David #1251, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1251 — Tooele, UT. The detachment dates to 1962, when veterans home from the Second World War and Korea 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 — Tooele. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 3rd Thursday, 7:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Tooele, UT.

Notes from the first meeting
Sgt Rodney M David #1251. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep the winter gift drive on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Tooele, UT. - Apr 9, 2026

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 Thursday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Tooele, UT.
