MCA Dues and Subscription Increase
Effective 1 April dues for Marine Corps Association (MCA), which includes a subscription to the paper edition of the Marine Corps Gazette, will increase for both officer and enlisted members. This increase is announced with a great deal of reluctance. Gazette readers—both of the print and online issues—have demonstrated great loyalty to the magazine; however, the increasing cost of paper, printing, and postage, especially postage, makes this increase absolutely necessary in order for the magazine to continue providing our readers with the best quality professional journal on the market. Dues for members who elect only the online subscription will not increase, as we will not incur additional costs.
As a way to show our appreciation for the continued support of our readers, there is an added benefit to be realized. All individuals who join the MCA or subscribe to the Gazette print or online magazine will also receive access to view both the Gazette and Leatherneck magazines online at no extra cost.
Gazette Artist Passes
Stanley E. Dunlap, Jr., a former Marine and Korean War veteran, who had worked closely with Felix W. De Weldon, the sculptor of the Marine War Memorial, passed away on 16 February. Mr. Dunlap devoted his life to the field of visual arts. His career included illustration, art direction, graphic arts, and printing supervision for some nationally recognized organizations. His illustrations were featured on covers of the Marine Corps Gazette and Leatherneck during his military service.
