| This Detachment is named after the first U.S. Marine MEDAL OF HONOR recipient from Indiana, BGen. Hiram I. Bearss, USMC The Marine Corps League has been serving Indianapolis since the 1920's when Major General John A. LeJeune, Commandant USMC first formed the MARINE CORPS LEAGUE in 1923, and subsequently incorporated in 1937. This first Indianapolis Detachment was known as the LEO LITZE DETACHMENT, named after a WWI Marine Hero, and held meetings above the OHIO THEATER. The LEO LITZE DETACHMENT served Indianapolis Marines for many years as a source of camaraderie and support for the widows and orphans of Marines. This service for and with Marines continued when the detachment was chartered again on 10 JUNE 1953 as the CAPITAL CITY DETACHMENT and served Marines in the Indianapolis area for almost twenty years, when it closed in the early seventies. But the Esprit De Corps continued to be strong and the detachment was chartered anew in APRIL 1973 as the HIRAM I. BEARSS DETACHMENT and has been serving central Indiana Marines ever since. |
