Los Angeles County Pound 389
Mission
The MODD promotes good fellowship amongst the
members of the different Marine Corps League
Detachments. It provides amusement and entertainment at
all gatherings of the League, when and where advisable.
It
preserves and strengthens the principles and ideals of the
League and maintains true allegiance to the United States of
America and its Constitution and laws. The MODD is very
active in raising funds for different charities with an
emphasis on children's charities.
Joining The MODD
The MODD is comprised of only regular members of the
Marine Corps League, in good standing, who have been
recommended for membership by their Detachment
Commandant and two members of the MODD, either Devil
Dogs or Pedigreed Devil Dogs. Each prospective member is
voted on by members of the Pound then undergoes a series
of initiations.
First as a Pup, in their Pound (the local organization), then as
a Devil Dog in their Pack (the State organization), and finally
as a Pedigreed Devil Dog at the Supreme Growl held in
conjunction with the National Convention of the League. Each degree must be held for one full year
before candidacy for the next degree may be considered. Advancement is not automatic after one year,
it must be earned, it is a privilege, NOT a right.
