Memorial & Remembrance

Honor those we have lost, preserve their names and stories, and keep their service part of the living memory of 1/9.

The need

Deaths can go unreported. Information becomes scattered. Families may not know how to notify us. Without a clear process, people disappear from the record.

What we do

No one disappears from the record

We maintain a clear process for notification, documentation, remembrance, and tribute, so every Marine and Corpsman we lose remains part of the living memory of 1/9.

Supporting families

We show up for the people they loved

When we lose one of our own, their family still has us.

  • Respond to member loss notifications
  • Contact the family directly
  • Send memorial flowers from the Association
  • Provide check-ins and continued support
  • Welcome families to stay involved with 1/9 Association
Surviving families

You’re still part of this family

Whether you’re a spouse, child, sibling, or someone who stood by a 1/9 Marine or Corpsman, you belong here. We invite surviving family members to stay connected through events, membership, and community.
