Description

The Soldiers', Sailors', Marines' and Airmen's Club is an outgrowth of the Servicemen's Club founded in 1919 to accommodate servicemen returning from overseas duty in World War I. Mrs. Cornelia Barnes Rogers (who served with the American Forces in France in 1918 as a civilian ambulance driver) and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (who served in France in 1918 with the American Red Cross) with the support of General John J. Pershing, raised the money to start the Club. It was named the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club.
