Westmoreland County #1416, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1416 — Lower Burrell, PA. The detachment dates to 1964, 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 — Lower Burrell. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says 1st Monday, 7:00 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 — Lower Burrell, PA.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook.
