Memorial Day Tribute Extends Beyond Flowers

The Red Cross also marks a tribute through aid and services for servicemen, veterans, and their families, totaling millions in financial assistance and support last year. Red Cross efforts included hospital and post engagement, claims help, and Operation Clubmobile programs in Korea and Europe.
