We’ve been in existence for 21 years as of October 2023, but whose counting?! Here’s to our next 21 years! Continued gratitude to our founding unit commander Mr. George Pobi and his initial staff (the plank owners!) who worked tirelessly to get this unit up and off the ground. Without their leadership and desire to succeed, we wouldn’t have had such a strong foundation to build on. Plank owner Doc Kurtz was on hand to witness the event. Fortuitous.

Recognized for their enduring commitment to ‘Strengthening the Lives of America’s Youth,’ they look forward to continuing their positive impact on the youth in their community and are eager to achieve even greater milestones ahead.” – Young Marines on Facebook
