It is so important that we preserve USMC history and the mounted Marines were a unique part of it. HorseMarines.com is a labor of love co-founded by my late mother and myself, and will not be monetized under my watch. Ever. Without compensation, I will be also promoting books and other materials sourced from other persons about the Horse Marines from time to time.
If you are a retired USMC servicemember who served on a Mounted Police Patrol Unit or USMC Mounted Color Guard Unit under the instruction of “Miss Jerri” Camarco or others, I would like to interview you and publish your story here of your experiences (un-classified) and reflections of your Marine duties on horseback to help educate the public about the modern history of the Horse Marines.
I am also creating a separate section here for other U.S. military service branches who utilized equines and other livestock to perform their duties, so if you have any material you can provide sources on that, please let me know.
If interested, please click here CONTACT FORM to reach me.
