The Venue
The Marines’ Memorial Club in San Francisco was established in 1946 as a living memorial to Marines who gave their lives in World War II. It is a fitting setting for an evening that honors the Naval service and the traditions of those who answered the call.
The club has served as a gathering place for the military community of the Bay Area for nearly eight decades. We are honored to host the Centennial Dinner within its storied walls.
