The Choctaw Detachment participates in three functions every year at the War Veterans Home in Jackson LA. Two of these functions are Luncheons which we host for the Marine residents and their familes. One in the Spring and one in the Fall. The other occasion is the celebration of Veterans Day where we present a cake cutting ceremony in honor of the Marine Corps Birthday. The upcoming event is shown below.

Meals for the Current Marine residents at the home and their guests will be paid for by us. Food will be prepared for approximately 50 people.
Cost per non resident is $3.00 per person , including MCL members and guests of members. Dress is casual, however, members shold wear their cover and a shirt with something Marine on it.
The Marine Corps show case in the main hallway at the Veterans Home is being constantly updated take a minute or two and walk down the hallway and view the Marine show case at the Home. Also if possible dig deep in your foot locker, storage box , etc. and find an item or two that can be added to the Marine show case for the Marine residents to view and bring back memories of the Corps.
The Choctae Detachment provides special meals on a regular basis to the residents through the generosity of local resturants. In addisition we provide doughnuts to the residents on Friday mornings. We also hold Bar-B-Q;s there and participate in the Standdowns.
