About Us

IN SERVICE SINCE 2003

A huge welcome to the MarineParents.com Community Network (MPCN)! We're thrilled you've joined us on this journey with your loved one in the Marine Corps. You're among friends who care, and we're honored to be part of your support system.  

With over 20 years of experience supporting Marines and their families, we're excited to bring you a new and improved platform to connect and share. After starting this journey in 2003, we've grown and adapted to meet the needs of our community. Now, we're transitioning from our Facebook groups to this new Community Network, where you can find resources, support, and connection with others who understand what you're going through.
 
We're not new to this platform, and we're happy to be returning to our roots! Want to learn more about our community and what we do? Check out the WELCOME tab in the navigation. We're proud of our legacy and look forward to continuing to support you and your Marine.

"Being the parent of a Marine in combat gave me such pride, and with that pride came a whole lot of fear. I was no longer his protector; he was my protector. He was no longer my little boy; he was my hero."
