Joe Rosenthal Chapter
USMC Combat Correspondents Association
Dale Cook, President and Iwo Jima Veteran



The Joe Rosenthal Chapter of the USMC Combat Correspondents Association is the Northern California chapter of a national organization of United States Marine Corps journalists. 

Originally  the "San Francisco Bay Area Chapter," the Chapter changed its name to honor Joe Rosenthal, our most accomplished member. Once boasting a sizable membership, the Chapter's numbers have slipped in recent years, as our older veterans of WWII and the Korean War pass away.  While most of our current members belong to the Vietnam generation, we still have active members who fought on Iwo Jima and in Korea. In addition to charitable efforts, we support local veterans' causes and work to honor the memory of photographer Joe Rosenthal.

The Chapter welcomes new members:  Marines, veterans, journalists and supporters.
