The Albert E. Schwab Detachment of the Marine Corps League was chartered on July 27, 1993. The Detachment is named in honor of PFC Albert E. Schwab, USMCR, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for action on Okinawa in 1945. PFC Schwab is the only Tulsan to receive the Medal of Honor. PFC Schwab is interned at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, OK.
