Dupage County #399, the Marine Corps League Detachment 399 — Wheaton, IL. The detachment dates to 1988, 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 — Wheaton. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are 4th Tuesday, 7:30 PM, at the hall — Wheaton. 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.

What the notebook says so far

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 4th Tuesday, 7:30 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Wheaton, IL.
