The Atlantic Coast Young Marines has received the highest award given in a six-state area in their division. Named by the Young Marines National Headquarters, the Atlantic Coast Young Marines has been named the “Division 3 Unit of the Year” for their outstanding community service activities and leadership opportunities for their youth members.
These outstanding young people have performed thousands of hours of volunteer service in the Jacksonville, Florida area community and are consistently volunteering for veterans’ groups and honoring our veterans. Led by Unit Commander Rosanne Vernon, the group is excited to be chosen for this honor.
The unit will now compete with five other units nationally for the top honor awarded by the Young Marines, the National Young Marine Unit of the Year.
