The Marine Corps League was organized during a reunion of Marines who had served in the 1st World War in New York in June 1923. The League was chartered by an act of the United States Congress on August 4, 1937. The League was authorized to assist and aid in presenting claims before the Veterans Administration by Public Law # 243, passed by the 74th Congress of the United States of America.
