After
World War I, Mrs. Ira C. Hopper conceived the idea of organizing a club
for military wives, especially those at Camp Pike, Pulaski County,
Arkansas. Women established the group in 1923 to support patriotic goals
and to teach the proper observance of patriotic holidays. The
membership was limited to mothers, widows, wives, daughters, and sisters
of present or former commissioned officers (including female) of the
uniformed defense forces of the United States of America. The Army and
Navy Woman's Club presented copies of "Code of Ethics of Our Flag" to
fifth grade students in the Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas,
schools. The club supported veterans in the hospital and needy veterans
at home with food, clothing, and toys, particularly at Thanksgiving and
Christmas. The organization disbanded in 1981.
