The Montford Point Marine Association, Inc. (MPMA, Inc.) invites you to join us as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, June 18, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois.

MPMA, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 non-profit veteran service organization established in June 1966 to perpetuate the legacy of the first African Americans who entered the Marine Corps. Our membership is open to veterans of all of the Armed Forces. Our purpose is to support education, advocate veteran programs, and promote community service. Now in existence for close to fifty years, MPMA, Inc. continues to strive to expand its programs and offerings to the community.

In order to meet our mission and provide services within our community, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses. So we’re asking for your support by placing an ad in our 50th Anniversary Journal. Your generosity will make a huge difference by allowing us to continue our community work and would be a great way to show your ongoing support to our Association and the legacy of the Montford Point Marines.

Again, we hope that you will be able to take part in one or more of the many exciting events we have planned during our 50th Anniversary Weekend (June 17-19, 2016) in Chicago, Illinois.
