Lincoln #607, the Marine Corps League Detachment 607 — East Moline, IL. The detachment dates to 1972, 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.
Over the years the detachment has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The members keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
Meetings are 3rd Tuesday, 7:00 PM, at the hall — East Moline. 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 Memorial Day wreath — East Moline
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 607 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 — East Moline.

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 Tuesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — East Moline, IL.
