MOM 4R MARINES sent over 1100 large identical holiday stockings filled with assorted gifts to Marines and Sailors in Iraq. Generous companies throughout the U.S. made this support possible. 

The brave warriors of the 3/2 had a hero’s homecoming—complete with entertainment, refreshments and, of course, reuniting with friends and family.

Challenge coins were specially designed for, and awarded to, 1150 Marines and Sailors.  Year books were also created for every warrior with pictures from the deployment.

A memorial sculpture on a granite foundation honoring the 14 warriors Killed In Action from 3/2 was unveiled at a memorial ceremony upon the battalion’s return.

Past Projects

Because of the generous support of individuals and corporations, the following is just an example of some of the projects sponsored by Mom 4R Marines.  The continued success of these programs depends on the generosity of both American individuals and corporations.  These projects are a small token of appreciation to the selfless contributions these warriors make on a daily basis—the contributions that ensure our safety and freedom.

For the second year in a row, MOM 4R MARINES was able to send over 1,150 holiday packages to Marines and Sailors currently deployed in Iraq.  Support for this program was overwhelming.  Photo Gallery
