MarineParents.com has many projects that we work on throughout the year to support our Marines and their families. A section of the Hospitality Room will be devoted to showcasing our projects giving you an opportunity to learn more about what we do and how you can help.

The exhibits will be staffed periodically throughout the conference.

The web site addresses a wide range of topics, each backed by links to official sites and resources. Topics include the United States Marine Corps, MCRD bootcamp and graduations at both Parris Island and San Diego, unit and battalion information, combat, deployments, military benefits, resources for our new generation of combat veterans, and countless other topics including relaxation and coping skills.

Support for family and friends of our U.S. Marines is offered through the web site’s trademark in "a Place to Connect & Share™" which includes live support, email support, chat rooms and message board communities. Both the chat rooms and message boards are moderated for safety and to assure compliance with OPSEC (Operational Security).

We ship between 800-1000 care packages every 10 weeks to Marines stationed in combat zones. Family and friends can request a package to be sent to their deployed Marine at no charge. Organizations, individuals, and communities are encouraged to support our troops by working with us to donate both funding and care package items.

Operation Prayers and Letters is a project that supports our Marines who have been injured. We work with families to setup a private mailing address for the injured Marine. People, church groups, and school children around the US add these Marines to prayer lists as well as write cards and letters for the Marines which we forward in huge envelopes for the Marines. The morale boost is incredible! Beginning January, 2007 we'll provide lunch one weekend each month to the Marine Corps families in temporary residence at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

Every Marine is assigned to a unit or battalion in the Marine Corps. Often, finding information about that particular unit can be challenging. Our database includes virtually every unit in the Marine Corps and includes base locations, current station, phone numbers, the unit FRO (Family Readiness Officer, a contact for family members), and links to the unit’s message boards and chat night schedule.
