Gold Country #885, the Marine Corps League Detachment 885 — Grass Valley, CA. The detachment dates to 1994, 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.
The work is ordinary and steady. A flag detail at a funeral. A winter drive that fills a corner of the hall with gifts. A scholarship evening where the members hand an envelope to a student and then go back to the coffee. None of it is loud. All of it is the point of the charter.
The regular meeting is 1st Monday, 6:00 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 — Grass Valley, CA.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Grass Valley
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 885 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 — Grass Valley.

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 Monday, 6:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Grass Valley, CA.
