On Saturday, our unit had the privilege of supporting the Humane Society for Southwest Washington through community service. We helped fill bags of dog and cat food for families in need and had the chance to tour the facility, meeting many adorable animals along the way. It was a rewarding experience to give back and support such an important cause. Thank you to the Humane Society for Southwest Washington for welcoming us and allowing us to help!
Communiy Serivce: Recreating raising the Flag on Iwo Jima
On Saturday, a group of Lewis & Clark Young Marines had the honor of joining the Canby Adult Center in recreating raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. They met Vietnam veterans, as well as active duty Marines; this was a very special event, and we are very thankful for this opportunity! We’ve been participating in this annually since 2003 – our longest running community service event.


Community Service: Tree planting

On this past sunny drill Saturday, Lewis & Clark Young Marines were able to get out and do what we do best, community service! We joined Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership and spent a few hours planting trees. Thank you for having our group, we look forward to joining in more tree planting events in the future.
