Join Us

There are many ways to join with the Eugene Sara Detachment.  If you are a Marine you can join by submitting an application with the $35 fee and a copy of your DD214.  You will be invited to a meeting – our meetings are the 2nd Monday of the month (except June-August) at the VFW in the Height Billings.  Once you attend we hope you will become involved in our activities throughout the County and State.

During November and December we will be working with the Marine Corps staff and Reserve Unit in collecting toys and donations for Toys for Tots.

We’re also trying to connect with Marines in the area who may not want to join the league, but would like to know of Marine events in Yellowstone County or Montana and hopefully this website will help to that end
