The Soldiers and Sailors' Club is a great New York-American Institution.
It provides low cost, temporary accomodation to servicemen and women returning home.
It's also where the NYYR Club meets every month.
THANK YOU for the link to that great article. I did not know this existed. Awesome!
Q: In closing, sir, what would you like to say to our men and women now serving in the armed services?
A: Well, first of all, I do that everyday of my life that the Good Lord gives me, I say something good to them. However, if I could speak to the general public, I would tell them to listen to our soldiers, hear what they have to say, be understanding and compassionate.
You know, the irony in all of this is that they enlisted, so they are where they want to be, they went there for our country. I do not have to tell them to hang in there because I know they will, but they have asked me to tell everyone to hang in there, get behind them, and support them.
Do you hear that CONgress???
