Marine For Life
Marine for Life Program
Overview
The purpose of the Marine for Life program is to assist Honorably
Discharged Marines by connecting the Marine with information about
employment, education,
local communities, and veterans’ benefits.
Over the past twenty months, the Marine for Life program has hired more
than seventy Hometown Links across the country to assist transitioning
Marines. Each Hometown Link has two main tasks. First, the Hometown Link
builds networks of community resources that can provide information and
assistance to transitioning Marines. Network resources consist of businesses,
individuals, or government agencies that are able to assist Marines who
have served honorably on active duty. Next, Hometown Links serve Marines
who are leaving active duty by connecting them with network resources
located in their community. This information is intended to provide the
transitioning Marine with opportunities that can be pursued as the Marine’s
career goals become clearer.
The Marine for Life program is in a growth mode seeking to add network
resources across the country. As a network resource with the Marine for
Life program, a business or individual can extend their contact information
to Marines around the globe. The only cost is the time it takes to speak
with your local Hometown Link and provide them with the information needed
to have transitioning Marines contact you.
Marines become aware of network resources by browsing the Marine for
Life program’s website, working with Hometown Links, or talking
with other Marines. The Marine for Life program is the perfect opportunity
for a Marine friendly business to assist Marines and to show their gratitude
for fellow American’s service to our country.

The end state for the Marine for Life program is to thank each Marine
for their service and leave a positive and lasting impression on every
Marine who wears the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, thus keeping our ethos “Once
a Marine, Always a Marine” alive in the form of a vibrant and growing
alumni network consisting of Marines, former Marines, and friends of
Marines.
This program is managed by the U. S. Marine Corps for its Marines.
