An only son, who was frequently lonely while away on duty, said to his mother one day, "Why can't mothers of navy men form a club to help us?" and out of his simple statement grew Mrs. Jones' version of the organization. Mrs. Jones called four other mothers together and that became the first and historic meeting of the organization. Now there are 672 clubs in 48 states.
