WORCESTER – The Worcester Marine Corps League will hold a candlelight vigil on Sunday, September 5, at 6 PM, in memory of Marines and other service members who died in Afghanistan.
The ceremony will include a wreath laying, rifle firing and post colors in memorial of the death of those lost in the line of duty.
The Marine Corps League describes itself as:
Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps. This is accomplished by banding together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service; voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines and former Marines and to their widows and orphans, and by perpetuating the history of the United States Marine Corps through fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
