New York, NY (October 13,
2014): The
United States Air Force was honored by the Soldiers’,
Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard and Airmen’s Club (SSMAC)
at the 18th Annual
Military Ball on Friday, October 10, held at The Pierre
Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. Over
400 members of the military, veterans, families and
supporters attended the black-tie gala to pay tribute to
our brave men and women who have served our country and
to help support the SSMAC, whose mission is to House,
Feed and Support the Military and all troops passing
through New York City.

Founded by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Cornelia
Barnes Rogers, and General John J. Pershing in 1919, the
SSMAC has served over five million Servicemen and
Servicewomen, veterans and their families and those of
our Allies, with its “Home Away From Home”
accommodations in the heart of New York City.
The SSMAC occupies two adjacent 19th century townhouses
on Lexington Avenue between 36th and 37th Streets. Built
in the 1880s as homes for the upper middle class of that
period, it is a 79-bed facility that includes a library
with two Internet stations, several large event rooms, a
television room and a dining room.
SSMAC, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization relies
solely on private donations and receives no state or
federal funds. All proceeds from the Military Ball are
tax-deductible and support SSMAC and its mission of
“Serving Those Who Have Served Our Country”.
