Veterans Red Cross aids disabled soldiers amid rising claims
The American Red Cross continues to assist disabled veterans eight years after World War I, amid increasing legislation and death claims.

Red Cross chapters, about 2,656 strong, handle claims, burial allowances, insurance, and bonuses while funding totals reach nearly 4 million dollars nationwide.
