Mc Cullen-Kimpel #552, the Marine Corps League Detachment 552 — Fond du Lac, WI. The detachment dates to 1977, when veterans home from Vietnam and the years that followed 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 — Fond du Lac. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 1st Saturday, 9:00 AM. 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 — Fond du Lac, WI.

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 1st Saturday, 9:00 AM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Fond du Lac, WI.
