The
Milwaukee Chapter of the Service Star Legion was organized in 1921. The
group was organized to do "patriotic work" and were "brought into
existence as a direct result of the storm and stress of war . . . for
the women who lived through the long days of dread and anxiety, who with
valiant courage bade goodbye and God speed to the boys, but who dared
not look into the future, must have a sympathy and understanding and a
desire to be of service and the opportunity to render service is open to
them through the work in these [Service Star Legion] chapters".
