Every member of this Command is aware of the great work the Red Cross is performing for the personnel of the Armed Forces and their dependents. It provides services and comforts for our fighting men that no other agency is equipped to provide. It provides comfort and amusement for the wounded and convalescent in hospitals; makes loans to members of the Armed Forces in cases of emergency; provides financial and other assistance to the dependents of soldiers, Bailors and marines; provides blood plasma for the wounded which has saved the lives of thousands of men in the fighting forces; is the sole means of communication and aid to prisoners of war in the hands of the enemy. These are Just a few of the many services this agency provides for the members of the Armed Forces. The Red Cross takes your place at the side of your loved ones in the service in time of trouble, and does for them what you, yourself, would do If you could be there. This great agency of mercy is dependent upon voluntary subscriptions for its support. It has the official approval of the President and War Department.
