Dear Marine,
The Marine Corps Birthday is truly unique and stands out among historic events celebrated by the armed services protecting our country. It is, one of our Corps’most solemn annual traditions and also its most anticipated event. Each 10th of November, Marines commemorate our glorious past, remember those who served before us, and share camaraderie with those presently serving. Tradition is important to Marines, and this one is one of our most cherished.
Part of the Marine Corps Association (MCA) mission is “To foster the spirit and preserve the traditions of the Marine Corps throughout the Marine Corps family.” Each year MCA makes available a wide range of supplies, items, gifts and mementos necessary for producing the most memorable and traditional Birthday Ball possible for Marines anywhere.
In addition to getting the best quality Ball supplies from MCA, you also support Marines when you do so. Every MCA purchase you make supports MCA’s Awards Program for Marines. MCA is the largest provider of awards to Marines in the world – having given over 8,700 Marine awards in 2008 alone. From honor graduates at the recruit depots to leadership, academic and professional achievement awards across virtually every unit in the Corps, the MCAAwards Program supports another important Marine tradition – that of recognizing good Marines!
Thank you for your consideration and support.We hope you will allow us to serve you.
Semper Fi,

Les Palm
Major General, USMC (Ret)
President and CEO
