Wisconsin Globe and Anchor #359, the Marine Corps League Detachment 359 — Beaver Dam, WI. The detachment dates to 1955, 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 — Beaver Dam. 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, 6:30 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 — Beaver Dam, WI.

Showing up for the winter gift drive — Beaver Dam
By spring the hall had the winter gift drive underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 359 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Beaver Dam.

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 1st Monday, 6:30 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Beaver Dam, WI.
