What is the connection between the Red Cross and members of the armed forces and their families?
American Red Cross emergency communication services keep military personnel in touch with their loved ones following the death or serious illness of a family member or other important events, such as the birth of a child. The Red Cross sends messages quickly, anywhere in the world, including ships at sea, embassies and to isolated military units. The information or verification in a message assists the service member’s commanding officer in making a decision regarding emergency leave.
