LCpl Jacob R. Lugo Detachment #1300
We are a nonprofit organization made up of Marines, Navy FMF Corpsmen, and associate members. We serve the Denton County community through carrying on the history and traditions of the Marine Corps as well as promoting good citizenship and democracy. More importantly, we are here to take care of our own. We serve Marines, Navy FMF Corpsmen and their families in their times of need.
The Detachment’s name honors LCpl Jacob R. Lugo of Flower Mound, Texas. LCpl Lugo gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation, on August 24, 2004. He was serving on his second tour in a team leader position with 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, in the Anbar province of Iraq when he was killed by an explosion.
