thanks for the history. my father was an Army guy and talked
about SOS, but i don't recall ever having any such thing at
home. maybe that's where he got them name from, maybe not.

 My mother made it a few times a year decades ago.  It was OK, have not seen the need to make it since though.

I remember my mother making it (using dried chipped beef) when I was a child.  My father loved SOS.  As a 6 year old, I didn't.  Stouffer's actually makes a decent frozen version of it (called Creamed Chipped Beef, not SOS).  When I told my mother she could buy it frozen she was thrilled she didn't have to make it from scratch.  Not that it is complicated, she simply didn't enjoy cooking.
