Happy 110th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps Reserve! 🎉

Established on August 29, 1916, the Marine Corps Reserve has spent more than a century supporting active-duty forces, responding during times of national need, and serving communities across the country. Today, we proudly recognize all Marine Reservists—past and present—and thank you for your courage, commitment, and service.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also proud to share that Penlanco Federal Credit Union has partnered with the National Credit Union Coalition for America’s Heroes (NCUCAH) to expand access to credit union membership for local veterans.

Through this partnership, eligible veterans who served in the Marine Corps—or any branch of the United States military—now have a pathway to membership at Penlanco FCU. Once a qualifying veteran establishes membership, their immediate family and household members may also be eligible to join.

We invite local veterans and their families to learn more about this new membership opportunity and the resources available through Penlanco FCU:
