The Gator Detachment is made up primarily of Marine veterans and friends. We formed in Alachua County in 1998. Our members are from Gainesville, Alachua, Archer, High Springs, Keystone Heights, Hawthorne and other surrounding towns. Our members were Marines and Corpsmen of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, as well as peacetime Marines. We are men and women. We were grunts, logistics, artillery, admin, supply, operations, cooks and many other MOS's, but we were all riflemen and Marines. We now exist to serve not only as a group where Marines of all eras bond together, but unite in efforts to do things for our community. Joined with us are men and women who were not Marines but choose to serve beside us, helping us in our missions. Check us out.
The Gator Detachment's 2024 Marine Corps Birthday Ball will be held on Friday, November 1, 2024 at the Best Western Gateway Grand. Since it is a weekday, the social gathering will begin at 5:30pm and the ceremony will begin at 6:30pm. Cost will still be $50 per person.
RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY OCTOBER 21, 2024.
