As his obituary explained, through World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, [the VSC] was a place where young men and women in a strange city could gather for food and friendship.
It also was a place of faith,
McCrossan said in a 1961 interview, a place where tens of thousands formally accepted Christ and hundreds more were inspired to enter various ministries
(Los Angeles Times, April 15, 1989).
According to the URM web site, the Victory Service Club was a spiritual haven and gathering place for nearly two million servicemen during the war years.
McCrossan served as director until his retirement in 1975.
