MISSION: "To promote the general welfare of Servicemen and Servicewomen (and their families) of the United States and its Allies and to maintain club houses and/or other facilities. We also proudly serve the N.Y.P.D., N.Y.F.D., and E.M.S. personnel who, after 9/11, are likewise on the "Front Lines". We are hereby dedicated to support our Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Merchant Marine and Navy personnel and their dependents."

CREED: "Service To Those Who Have Served Their Country"

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.

The Club has been operating continuously for over 85 years, offering a "Home Away From Home" to all service personnel, military retirees, veterans - and their dependents and sponsored guests. Since 1919 we have provided accommodations for over 2,500,000 eligible guests and their families.

The Soldiers', Sailors', Marines' and Airmen's Club is a 501(C) 3, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION funded by private citizens to express their gratitude for the sacrifices of our Servicemen and Servicewomen by providing affordable, comfortable and safe accommodations. We receive no government grants or subsidies. We are not affiliated with any other organization.

Our annual deficit of $ 200,000.00 is supported only by your tax-deductible donations. SEE DONATIONS.

The Soldiers', Sailors', Marines' and Airmen's Club, since 1919 continues to fulfill its mission, as the only private organization in the New York area to provide accommodations at subsidized rates and club-type facilities for Servicemen and Servicewomen, Military Retirees and Veterans and their families visiting New York City.
