During my 20+ years with the U. S. Marines, I had the opportunity to see the Navy-Marine Corps Relief community in activity on numerous occasions. I was all the time impressed with the collection of requisite services that they provided to the younger Marines and sailors. These services included loans, grants, education programs, financial counseling, layettes, food lockers and visiting nurse programs.
