VENDOR APPLICATION

The For Marines By Marines brand embodies the enduring Esprit de Corps shared by those who have earned the title of Marine. This lifelong bond, reflected in the motto "Once a Marine, Always a Marine," comes to life through the unwavering support Marines provide to one another.

Entrepreneurs and vendors who earn the For Marines By Marines designation proudly affirm their membership in this time-honored and elite fighting force. By displaying this label, they not only proclaim their status as Marines but extend an invitation to their fellow Marines: "I stand ready to support you. Will you stand with me?"

This brand represents the strength of the Marine bond, and acknowledges a connection that extends far beyond active service to unite Marines in their civilian endeavors and reinforce the values of loyalty, dedication, and camaraderie that define the Marine Corps experience.
