United States Marine Corps, have united together to establish a
permanent organization under the Laws of the National Constitution of the
Marine Corps League and under the laws of the United States of
America and the State of Wisconsin, which shall always be
non-political, non-partisan and non-sectarian; and which shall never
serve as a medium of personal or political ambition or preferment.

This
organization, having been
incorporated by the congress of the United States, by an act signed
by the President of the United States, on August 4, 1937, shall take
over all of the property and obligations and continue the affairs of
the previously unincorporated Marine Corps
League, pursuant to such
act, and for the objects and purposes therein set forth, it is
provided by its Constitution.

Marine
Corps League

preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United
States Marine Corps.

a Marine, Always a Marine."
