Marine Corps League Detachment 1311 Elects New Officers

Detachment 1311 members elected five officers to serve the organization in 2019, including Rich Sabo who will continue his role as commandant of the organization.

Founded in April 2008 by 16 Marine veterans, referred to as plank owners, the Detachment received its national charter in September 2008. Its membership includes 130 Marine veterans, FMF Naval corpsmen, and FMF Naval chaplains. It is the largest and fastest growing Detachment in Georgia.

One of the major events that the Detachment sponsors is an annual George Rip and Barbara Masters Golf Tournament, which raises funds to sponsor worthy students for college scholarships. For more information, call Ron Welborn at 404-217-2246.

The Detachment also provides ceremonial rifle honors at Georgia National Cemetery and private grave sites for any honorably discharged military veteran whose family requests such a burial service. For additional information, call John Newport at 770-926-4752.
