Etched Brick Memorials Now Available

to be placed in the Ocala/Marion County Veterans Park

Members of our Central Florida Chapter, and also any other interested parties may now purchase an etched red brick for our monument in the Ocala/Marion County Veterans Park at a cost of $65 per brick.  You may purchase as many bricks are you desire.  Each brick can contain three lines of inscription, with 16 characters, including spaces and punctuation [period, comma, etc.] per line.  The photo above will give you an idea of how the finished memorial will look.

If you are interested in donating to support the memorial by purchasing an etched brick, you may download the donation form by clicking here.  Print and complete one form for each brick you are ordering, and send your completed form(s) with a check for $65 per brick, made out to the Central Florida Chapter, 1st Marine Division Association, and send to our Chapter President, Mike Galyean, at the address on the form.

Thank you for supporting our effort to create a beautiful and fitting memorial in the Ocala/Marion County Veterans Park!

All Annual Memberships in our
Central Florida Chapter Expired December 31

Unless you have joined as a LIFE MEMBER of the Central Florida Chapter, your membership expires at the end of each year and will need to be renewed for this year. Our Chapter By-laws allow 60 days of "grace period" after the beginning of the new year, but we would like to receive your membership renewal before having to send you a written reminder.

IMPORTANT :: Please make sure that your membership in the 1st Marine Division Association is current. It was discovered recently that several of our current members had not joined the Association. If you are not a member in good standing of the 1st Marine Division Association, you cannot be eligible to be a Regular Member of the Central Florida Chapter!

Meetings feature programs and speakers of interest to Marines and other military veterans, followed by an optional lunch and good old fashioned Marine fellowship and esprit de Corps.
