On October 28th, 2018 Ray Orriss, Commander of American Legion Post 471,Iselin NJ addresses the first basic training graduating class of the Young Marines North Jersey unit. Post 471 is the proud sponsor of this new unit of the Young Marines. 

I had the honor of spending five days with the Young Marine recruits during their Boot Camp at Colonia High School. The recruits were all a little nervous in the beginning but their confidence grew quickly.

The Young Marines North Jersey unit is commanded by Post 471's Vice Commander John Eberhardt.
