Marine Corps League recognizes Saginaw Masonic Lodge for service

The John C. Rock Marine Corps League Detachment #902 recognized Saginaw Masonic Lodge #77 for service to Veterans on Tuesday, May 3rd, at the Saginaw Masonic Center, 2655 N. Center Rd in Saginaw.

The Marine Corps League, chartered in 1923, exists to preserve the traditions and promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps, and serve those who have been honorably discharged from service. They also support the ideals of American freedom and democracy, and provide aid and assistance to Marines, their widows and orphans.

Programs of the Marine Corps League include Marines Helping Marines, Young Marines, Academic Scholarships, Legislative Programs, an Auxiliary League, the Military Order of Devil Dogs, and Toys-for-Tots.

Fernando Garcia, Master of Saginaw Lodge #77, stated that this honor eclipses any he has seen given to the Lodge in recent memory. “These men and women have served our nation honorably, and have done so again by assisting us in our Veteran’s endeavors, asking for nothing in return,” he said. “Any and all recognition should always go to these brave men and women, who have granted us the freedom we all enjoy. We are all humbled by their integrity and service to our Lodge, our community, and our country.”

Garcia noted that the Marine Corps League was the first group to help them with their First Annual Veteran’s Appreciation Day event two years ago. The Marine Corps League’s support was instrumental in the great success of the event again last year, which brought hundreds to the Saginaw Masonic Center to say ‘thank you’ to our Vets.

The Masonic Lodge, with the help of the Marine Corps League, was able to donate to several Veterans Organizations, send care packages overseas, teach about the American Flag, and provide relief to Veterans who reside at the Lutz VA Hospital in Saginaw.

The event’s host, Saginaw Lodge #77, has a proud history of serving the community since its inception in 1856. Famous American Military Masons include George Washington, Lewis Cass, and Douglas MacArthur.
