  Service to Armed Forces...Staying Connected!

Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military.

 Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross allows military members stationed all over the world to send messages to loved ones back home during emergency or other important events. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Donors Honor Those Who Serve

To all the brave military men and women of the Tennessee Valley who have made tremendous sacrifices to make this the land of the free for all Americans. 

 Honor a Soldier Anytime - Year-round!

 

While serving 1.4 million active duty personnel, the Red Cross also reaches out to the 1.5 million members of the National Guard and the Reserves who reside in nearly every local community in America.

Hundreds of Red Cross chapters brief departing service members and their families regarding available support services and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during the deployment. Both active duty and community-based military can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency communications that link them with their families back home, access to financial assistance, counseling and assistance to veterans.

 

 

Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel work in nearly 900 chapters in the United States, on 79 military installations around the world and with our troops in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.
