The Salvation Army McComb MS Service Center

Happy Father's Day!

This Memorial Day we honor the sacrifices many have made to protect our freedom.

Happy National Salvation Army Week! *** In case you’re unfamiliar with this special occasion, here’s a little history: In 1954, the United States Congress and President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed the first National Salvation Army Week as a reminder to Americans to give freely of themselves. In his speech, President Eisenhower said, Among Americans, The Salvation Army has long been a symbol of wholehearted dedication to the cause of human brotherhood. In time of war, the men and women of this organization have brought to those serving their country far from home, friendliness and warm concern. In the quieter days of peace, their work has been a constant reminder to us all that each of us is neighbor and kin to all Americans. Giving freely of themselves, the men and women of The Salvation Army have won the respect of us all. ***

Happy Mother's Day!
