Kershaw County Leathernecks #1146, the Marine Corps League Detachment 1146 — CAMDEN, SC. The detachment dates to 1965, 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 — CAMDEN. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is Meeting Day/Time 2nd Tuesday, 5:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — CAMDEN, SC.

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 Meeting Day/Time 2nd Tuesday, 5:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — CAMDEN, SC.
