The U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 elicited an extraordinary response from women across the country and DAR members were no exception. The National Society formed the War Relief Service Committee within 30 days after war was declared and members refused to rest until even their post-war aid and rebuilding promises were fulfilled. Come see how these resilient women rose to the challenge, dedicating themselves to war relief activities that stretched from their living rooms to the battlefields of France, rendering service to their country worthy of their patriot ancestors.
