Historical Preservation

The Historical Preservation Committee is dedicated to safeguarding and honoring the legacy of the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share the stories, experiences, artifacts, and records that define our unit's distinguished history. By capturing these critical memories, we ensure future generations of Marines, their families, and supporters can fully appreciate and understand the sacrifices, courage, and camaraderie that shaped the battalion.

What We Do

  • Collect and archive historical documents, photographs, and memorabilia.

  • Document firsthand accounts and oral histories from veterans and family members.

  • Collaborate with historians and experts to accurately represent our battalion's past.

  • Educate the broader community through events, publications, and digital content.

New Dedicated History Website Coming Soon!

A dedicated website focused solely on the history of the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines is currently under development. This new platform will offer an immersive experience, featuring interactive timelines, veteran stories, galleries of historical images, and an extensive archive of resources. Our aim is to provide an accessible and comprehensive space where our storied past is vividly preserved and celebrated.

Stay tuned for more details as we build this lasting tribute to the legacy of the Walking Dead.
