Cpl Joshua J Ware #1403, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1403 — Sallisaw, OK. The detachment dates to 1947, 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 — Sallisaw. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are 3rd Tuesday, 6:30 PM, at the hall — Sallisaw. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the detachment might use.

This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Sallisaw, OK.
