 Navy Marine Corps Relief Society has a long history of assisting sailors and Marines in their time of need. Melody Weddell sat down with all hands up date to share how the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society began. The organization was started in 1904 from the proceeds of the 1903 Army Navy game. If something, if an active duty service member were to die for whatever reason while in service the chief of the boat or one of the officers would take off one of their hats and they would pass it around the boat and or the ship and people would give whatever money they had, pennies, nickels and when you're thinking about turn of the century small amounts of money and then whatever was given from that was given to the widow or the orphans and that's what they had to live on.
