At Blue Ridge Detachment #848 MCL, we are dedicated to providing top-notch services and support to our veterans. Our mission is to help veterans transition back into civilian life as smoothly as possible.
Our team is comprised of veterans, military spouses, and professionals who are passionate about helping veterans succeed. We have years of experience in the industry and are committed to providing the best possible service.
We offer a wide range of services to help veterans with everything from job training to mental health support. We understand that every veteran has unique needs, which is why we work closely with our clients to develop personalized plans.

Ask us about Associate Membership
Members of the Marine Corps League join in camaraderie and fellowship to preserve traditions, promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps, band together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps, FMF Navy Personnel and those who have been honorably discharged from that service and to promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy. We also voluntarily aid and render assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen, FMF Chaplains, and former Marines, FMF Corpsmen and FMF Chaplains and their widows and orphans.
We seek to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
We will be riding in Denver's Crown Victoria for the 4th of July Parade and proudly displaying our Detachment's name. We will line up at 0930. The parade is 1030 to 1100
