Blue Star Mothers, Adopt a Marine!
Monday—Sunday, all day event

• For many young Marines (19-24 years old), military deployment is their first time away from family and home. For most, it is also the first time out of the U.S. No matter age or travel status, many Marines get very, very few (or no) pieces of mail for their entire deployment (usually a year)! This is an absolute travesty!
