Body
Summary:
The Military Order of the World Wars was first recognized as a Veteran Service Organization by Congress in 1919. The “Great War” was over, and US military officers were returning home. Their Commander-in-Chief, General John J. Pershing, counseled his wartime leaders, “…May I ask that you carry home your high ideals and continue to live as you have served.” Many veteran officers sought to fulfill that request, forming their own order to serve their communities and maintain the fraternal bonds forged on the battlefield.
