Why We Contribute to Red Cross Fund
The piece emphasizes the Red Cross role in relief work from Crimea to World War eras. It notes Florence Nightingale and her nurses cutting deaths, the 60 percent of wounded at the Antietam battle delayed by lack of Red Cross care, and the American corps in France treating thousands. It argues the Red Cross is second to the army in importance.
