Marine Fighter Squadron 323 (VMF-323) was commissioned on 1 August 1943.  The aircraft and the Marines have changed over the years but their devotion to Duty, Country and Corps has not faltered.  Some served in the harsh conditions of combat or as Prisoners of War, while others trained during peace time.   Some made the ultimate sacrifice.  This Web Site is dedicated to them, The Few, The Faithful, The Marines of VMF-323, VMA-323, VMF(AW)-323, and VMFA-323.  Their Motto says it all!

“COME TO FIGHT—COME TO WIN”
