Our "Missions" are focused on entire units/battalions which consist of 250-1300 Marines and Sailors. These missions include:

  • Lifting morale as well as providing basic needs for the Marines and Sailors living at OP’s (Out Posts). Presently many of these units/battalions are hundreds of miles away from a base and live with very little amenities at these remote OP's.  
  • Assisting Wounded Warriors in need.
  • Design and create Memorial Monuments at the Command Posts for those units/battalions that have suffered loss of their Marines or Sailors Killed in Action.
  • Assist with homecomings to honor and welcome our Heroes returning from their deployments.

These are shipped out to Sailors and Marines in the most remote and volatile environments with very few basic amenities.

As our Marines and Sailors presence in Afghanistan doubles--so does their needs!

Items needed Refrigerators- microwaves--cool neck ties- items to lift morale! WE MUST SUPPORT AND PROVIDE THEIR NEEDS! MOM 4R MARINES continues to send products needed as soon as donations arrive. Please help us now by making a donation so we can continue to lift the morale and provide the basic needs to our true heroes! WE purchase items in bulk at wholesale prices! Shipping costs alone are expensive. Our normal size box weighs over 50 lbs.

We do NOT send individual care packages;  We work directly with units and Battalions. When we hear of a need we get on it ASAP! The USMC does not ask for anything! MOM 4R MARINES learns of these needs-- contacts the proper source, questions and confirms the need and offers to assist.

As more and more Units/ Battalions continue to arrive in Afghanistan we must be prepared to send them the support and items they will need. Considering the very hot weather is upon them already.... The other day it hit 115 degrees in Afghanistan, we must plan accordingly to send them our support with all the love we can muster!

We Need YOUR support! Our Marines and Sailors need YOU! The reality is they do NOT have access to the basic necessities, you and I assume as common place in our daily lives. These young men and woman NEVER ask for a thing! Recently I was told when receiving items such as toilet seats,  very basic human needs, things we take for granted, they SMILE ear to ear!  It means the world to them!!!

Please help us help them!! 

Without all of YOU our past missions would never have been so successful. We are only the middle man YOU are a very crucial part of our organization.

Everlasting Memorials to our Fallen Heros/ Awaiting Approval

MOM 4R MARINES is looking into the possibility of building Memorial Tributes to our Fallen at the Marine Corps Museum's Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, located in Triangle, VA  which is just a stone throw from HQMC in Quantico, Va.

Our starting goal is to have Memorial Monuments for all those that have lost their lives while serving our Country in OIF and OEF, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan).
 
These monuments would be appropriately recognized by each unit being attached with their Command structure while serving i.e. Regiment Combat Teams Marine Expeditionary Force's, Brigades etc...
 
We feel by having these Memorials at the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park will allow many more people the opportunity to pay their respects while visiting the Museum which is over flowing with Marine Corps History and artifacts.
 
The intended design: This design is commonly known as the TEXAS BARRIER. The monument will incorporate this unique design that will be universally identifiable by any Marine or Sailor who has ever served in Afghanistan or Iraq. 
TEXAS BARRIER; 
This barrier is approximately  7 foot tall by 8 foot wide concrete inverted T shaped wall-like structure, which is utilized to protect buildings, OP's (Out Posts) and Firm Bases from direct fire, indirect fire, observation, and or suicide blasts.
