WASHINGTON, March 24, 2008 What began in 1919 as simple lodging for servicemembers returning from World War I has since become a jewel in the heart of Manhattan, with an expanding mission that includes supporting deployed troops.
The main effort of the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard & Airmens Club is to provide reasonably priced accommodations to servicemen and women, as well as any members of the (New York Police Department and New York Fire Department) in order to express our gratitude for all of their efforts, said Connie Morinello, one of the organizations committee members. |
