PFC Robert L. Cochran, Jr, USMC

Founded in honor of PFC Robert L. Cochran, Jr., U.S. Marine Corps — who gave his life in the Marianas Islands on July 8, 1944 — Chapter 82 carries his legacy of courage and service forward. From early days on Tamiami Trail to our current home at the Port Charlotte Town Center Mall, our all-volunteer team has adapted to meet growing needs: rebuilding after Hurricane Charley, expanding training, and scaling assistance as more veterans sought our help.
