The Marine Corps League is the only congressionally chartered United States Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. Its charter was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 4, 1937, and credits Major General John A. Lejeune — the 13th Commandant — as one of its founding members.
