Gen Roy S Geiger #1047, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1047 — Orange Park, FL. The detachment dates to 1975, when veterans home from the Second World War and Korea wanted a room of their own and a way to keep serving after the uniform came off.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Orange Park. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are 3rd Wednesday, 7:00 PM, at the hall — Orange Park. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the detachment might use.

Showing up for the winter gift drive — Orange Park
By spring the hall had the winter gift drive underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 1047 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Orange Park.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is 3rd Wednesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Orange Park, FL.
