The Marine Memorial Club was charted in 1946 by the Corps’ top commander, Gen. Alexander Vandegrift, according to Myatt. He was a veteran of some of the hardest battles in the Pacific and wanted a series of respite locations for his Marines across the nation. They would serve as a way to serve, honor and educate about who Marines are and what they do.
