commandant's message

Commandant Frank J. Rue

Semper Fi Team,

I feel so very proud to have been elected as your 11th Commandant of L/Cpl. Christopher

Adlesperger, Detachment 1316. Our Detachment, founded during the beginning of 2008, has

gotten better and stronger. My hope is with such a foundation that we can continue as United

States Marines and Associate members to say focused and honor our history as well as our

future.

My name is Frankie J. Rue, I joined the Marine Corps in 1974 and was Honorably discharged in

1980. I am very proud to be counted with the other Marines who served during the Vietnam era.

I joined the MCL in December 2008. I served Detachment 1316 as past Commandant and

Pound Keeper of the Devil Dogs. At the department level I serve presently as Pack Leader of the

Devil Dogs.

Our mission in 2024 as a Detachment will be to continue to support our marines and veterans

and to pursue community outreach opportunities such as working in Rio Rancho with the Mayor

in Parades, Veteran’s Day actives, Memorial Day, and volunteering with the VAMC in support of

their veterans’ programs. We hope to continue to raise funds via the Raffle which was started by

our previous Commandant Mike Haas and his team (proceeds are donated to numerous charities

in our area). Finally, we will continue hosting the greatest Marine Corps Ball in the State of New

Mexico.

In conclusion, I look forward to working with all of you to continue and grow our league.

Together we can do great things for our fellow veterans, our community and our State.

Semper Fi.

   Commandant Frank J. Rue
