About Metroplex Marines!

The mission of the Metroplex Marines Coordinating Council

If you are an active duty, reserve, or retired Marine new to the Dallas/Ft Worth area, welcome to the Metroplex Marines. We are a close-knit group of crusty old Marines whose members span from World War II to Korea, to Viet Nam, to Iraq/Afghanistan and everything in between. This is the best place in North Texas to network,  find support for our military members, or just share the comradery of over 3 decades of Marine service.
