WELCOME TO THE MEA - PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Marines and Friends of the MEA, I humbly accept the opportunity to serve as your MEA President. We’ve maintained our brotherhood and tradition of “once a Marine, always a Marine” and this organization’s true essence to provide mentorship and assistance in the transition of all Marines. Together, we can make our motto, Marines helping Marines,” resonate thought the globe. Our camaraderie is unmatched and uniquely identified by our devotion to Corps and County. I believe we can raise the bar even higher with our outreach to all career communities; entrepreneurs, blue collar tradesmen, light blue technical and starched shirt executives. This expansion will require each one to reach one, especially our young enlisted and diverse Marines. As we expand our chapters and connect with other associations that are helping marines we will fortify an interlocking web of support. For example: Marine4Life, Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, and our Wounded Warrior Regiment are all necessary to demonstrate our commitment that we take care of our own. We are all volunteers, and the satisfaction of helping Marines is unmatched. Current members, bring other members and partners into action so they can feel the joy of helping a brother in need of your expertise, encouragement, and camaraderie. Prospective members, join your local chapter and get engage with your Marines, send care packages and help in anyway you can! Semper Fi, Vonzell Mattocks
