Welcome to the Columbia River Young Marines
Columbia River Young Marines learned Fire Protection and Prevention techniques from the personnel at Benton County Fire Protection District #1, Station 150 on April 25, 2009. Marine Corps League Detachment #337 and Oxarc Fire Division also provided support, instruction and assistance during the day. The training schedule included escape plans, fire extinguisher use, smoke detector use, exit drills, and fire station apparatus. This was a fun, exciting training day in which our Young Marines learned how to reduce the risk of fire and what to do if they find themselves in a situation involving fire.
The West Richland Veterans Day Parade in honor of our Veterans is one parade that we never miss. It threatened rain all morning, but that did not deter our YMs from wanting to look their best. Columbia River Young Marines marched with pride the entire parade route. All that time spent on drill in October paid off when we captured the first place ribbon for marching units. Though we were very proud to come in first, our pride was mostly for our veterans.
The Columbia River Young Marines is one of over 300 units belonging to the national Young Marine Program. Started in 1958, the Young Marine program is one that endeavors to instill positive values in today's boys and girls, aged 8 to 18. Throughout our Nation, there are more than 14,000 young Americans being guided by an organization based on Marines giving back to their communities. Read more about us...
