BLACK MOUNTAIN DETACHMENT # 495
The Black Mountain Detachment supports many Veterans-related activities & works closely with Southern Nevada Veterans Home to ensure residents and our most senior Marines are remembered throughout the year at monthly visitations. We also participate in funerals at the Boulder Veterans Cemetery for those Marines who are not represented by family or friends. We assist local Marines, Marine reservists, and Marine veterans requiring financial support. Our 5K Fun Run event also helps us to support the Devil Pups Program of Southern Nevada and provide service dogs for veterans. For several years, Local youth ages 14-17 enjoy a ten-day encampment at the US Marine Corps’ School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton, California where they gain self-confidence and leadership experience through increasingly challenging physical and mental tests. They join other youth from California, Arizona, and Utah in competing for honors. |
