Their dedication shines through their active volunteerism and achievements within the program.  \nThe Marine Corps League's influence, particularly through their attendance at the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) youth leadership school hosted at ASU West Campus, underscores a pivotal moment in their journey. This experience, sponsored by the Detachment, solidified their resolve and direction.
