My fellow Marines, Corpsmen and friends: Welcome to the Ventura County, California, Marine Corps League Detachment 597 web site. We are located in Simi Valley, California, on the eastern side of Ventura County, bordering our neighboring Los Angeles County (San Fernando Valley).
We are a non-profit organization meeting every first Thursday of each month to discuss and be involved with helping our fellow Marine brothers and sisters in need. We are dedicated in promoting good patriotism, camaraderie, and fellow citizenship. We commit ourselves to raise funds and contribute to numerous organizations with financial assistance and support.
We have members who have served during World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other conflicts worldwide.
