Programs and Projects

Detachment 783 receives various requests from veterans. Recently a U.S.M.C. Vietnam Veteran requested a flag raising ceremony before his health declined any further.  A detail was formed, and 783 raised two new flags (U.S. and U.S.M.C.) flags at the 85 y/o veteran’s Blairsville residence. Semper Fi.

Towns and Union County serve a large veteran community, many of whom find themselves in need of adaptations to make their homes handicap accessible.  Veterans Cooperative is proud to team with 783 and its partners (i.e., Lowe’s, Home Depot, VFW 7807 and others) to fulfill such requests from those who have served our great nation. 

Veterans facing home repairs sometimes need assistance in seeing them to fruition. 783 can help.

Applications for assistance can be found on 783’s website.

Detachment 783 helps veterans, and family members thereof, who are in need of food security by working with local food pantries and the Blairsville VA Clinic.

The MCL is honored to present the Fallen Marine Program for ALL current or honorably discharged Marines. The MCL Fallen Marine Program does not replace the ceremony of the Honor Guard, it is an addition to it. To learn more contact MCL Unicoi Detachment 783.
