Brothers and Families,
We’re making history, and we want you and your family to be part of it.
The Proud Warrior has long carried our stories. Now, for the first time, it’s evolving into a full-length, printed magazine as we launch our rebrand. This is a milestone that honors our legacy and looks ahead to what’s next. We can’t tell the story of the 1/9 Association without your voice.
What to share (just one is enough):
- A memory from a reunion, event, or moment that stuck with you
- A time a member or the Association showed up for you or your family
- What this community means to you
- A quote, phrase, or photo that captures our spirit
- Reflections on our legacy or hopes for the future
A few lines, a voice memo, or a short story is perfect. Include a date if relevant, and let us know if you’d like to remain anonymous.
Deadline to submit: April 30, 2025.
The Walking Dead Lives, in every Marine, Corpsman, family member, and supporter who stands with us.
Semper Fi,
Matt Valenzuela, Vice President of Operations
