This page is dedicated to all those U.S.Marines who served, any time during their career , at Headquarters Battalion or the Marine Security Guard Battalion at Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps.

This site is intended to be a source of information for those of us still here and, as a memorial, to those who have already landed on Heaven's shores and are now guarding the "streets of gold."

All Marines are welcome and just because you never served at HQMC doesn't mean you may not have served with some of us. Many made the Corps a career serving 20-30 years or more


If you meet these requirements we would be honored to have you as a member of our organization.

    TALES OF YORE ARE URGENTLY NEEDED

    We seek tales, humorous or otherwise, from members and nonmembers relating to experiences they had while serving with a Headquarters  Battalion or the Marine Security Guard Battalion from the 1940's to the year 2000 and hopefully beyond. To view those already submitted use this link Tales of Yore .

    Because our Association was initially formed from those Marines who served in the 1940s and 1950s, most of our tales deal with those early eras. However, we need tales from all Marines regardless of when they served. Perhaps some day we can publish them in book form for the edification and amusement of all Marines and friends of Marines. 

    If you have a tale that you would like to share with us that involves a period of service with a HqBn or MSG Bn please email it to Vaughn L. DeBoever vdeboever@earthlink.net  or snail mail it to him at 3309 Alta Vista Dr, Fallbrook, CA 92028-8740 for consideration for publication on this web site. 

    Where necessary, names should be changed to protect not only the innocent but the guilty. Those submitting tales for posting on our Web Site do so with the understanding that submissions will, if deemed necessary, be edited and might be published at a later date to benefit the HQMC Association and its membership.

Contributions for this page are always welcome so if you know something  we don't please let us know. Here is what we know. Useful Information.
