Mission Statement

​Detahment History
     In 2005 Marine Joe Mastice and a group of Marines met in Saddle River to form a Detachment of the Marine Corps League. The Detachment set up "camp" in the Saddle River Firehouse for the first two years of existence.  Since our inception, and to pay homage to one Marine who gave his life selflessly for his fellow Marines, we set out to have our name changed from Saddle River Detachment to the LCpl. Jedh C. Barker Detachment.  Today, through the kindness of his siblings, we are now and forever be known as the LCpl Jedh C. Barker Detachment. We give our solemn oath before all here assembled that we will do everything in our power to live up the privilege to connect ourselves one of our nations greatest heroes, a Recipient of the Medal of Honor, LCpl Jedh Colby Barker.
