From the Helm

This month I am going to bring you seven

questions presented by the Past National

Commandants Council They concern the

goals of the Marine Corps League Please

ask yourself these questions and respond

to me with any comments that you feel

will help your Detachment grow and

prosper

1 What does the Detachment contribute to the Community

2 Is the leadership ldquoFair and Honestrdquo with the members

3 Is there ldquoCooperation and a Team Spiritrdquo within the De-

tachment

4 Is there an untiring effort for improvement

5 Is there ldquoCourtesy and Humilityrdquo within the leadership

6 Is there adaptability within the Detachment membership

7 Does the leadership show gratitude for membership contri-

butions and accountability

As I leave the post of Commandant after 5 years at the Helm I

believe and hope that I and the Officers that have served with

me have at least tried to receive a YES answer for these ques-

tions the majority of the time

Lastly remember that we are holding BINGO on Friday nights

in conjunction with the Marine Foundation YOUR help is

needed to make this a successful venture and to not burn out

the 10 that are always there

I have also put in this issue (Page 2-3) the definition of a

ldquoVolunteerrdquo that was also included in this PNC document

Please take the time to read it It is important to the future of

the League and your Detachment

Hiram I Bearss Det 089

ldquoA Marine is a Marine I set that policy two weeks ago -

rine just in a different uniform and youre in a different

phase of your life But youll always be a Marine because

you went to Parris Island San Diego or the hills of Quan-

tico Theres no such thing as a former Marinerdquo

Corps
