In honor of the Marine Corps’ 242nd birthday, which will be officially celebrated one week after the event, the talk will feature the heritage of the Marine Corps as well as how the Corps is changing to face current and future threats to the United States around the world.
The event is open to the public with Marines and other service veterans especially invited. The lodge is located at 2836 Route 20 East between Cazenovia and Nelson.
