Leatherneck Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leatherneck Magazine of the Marines (or simply Leatherneck) is a magazine founded in 1917 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia for members of the United States Marine Corps. The magazine is sometimes referred to as the "Reader's Digest" for Marines. Its name derives from the slang "leatherneck" for a U.S. Marine, referring to the leather-lined collar or stock of the original Marine uniform.
Leatherneck was an official Marine Corps publication until 1972. In 1976 The Leatherneck Association merged with the Marine Corps Association (MCA). MCA continues to publish Leatherneck alongside another Marine Corps periodical the Marine Corps Gazette.
Leatherneck celebrated its 90th anniversary in November 2007.
