Life membership via Purple Heart

Staff Sgt. Albert “Combat” Carls

It’s not the most fun way to get a free Life Membership in the USMCCCA – but you rate it if you are a Purple Heart recipient. Staff Sgt. Albert “Combat” Carls is among those who have earned the lifetime designation during the Iraq and Afghanistan fighting — but the bennie includes any 45XX family, past or present, who was wounded in battle.

If this applies to you or a buddy, please contact CC Executive Director Kate Stark to claim your life membership. And check out this 2012 feature story on then Sgt. Carls.
