Florida and Gulf Coast Chapter


General John J. Pershing with General Charles P. Summerall of Florida

About the Chapter:

The chapter had previously held seminars in Jacksonville, at The Citadel at Charleston, South Carolina, and the central Florida Community College at Ocala. We seek to draw attendance the surrounding coastal southern states as far west as Louisiana and northeast into the Carolinas.

Perhaps the best known Floridian was Charles P. Summerall [shown above] who served in The Great War as commander of the First Division and V Corps, was Army Chief of Staff from 1926 to 1930 and President of The Citadel from 1931 to 1953. More information on the General can be found Here.
