The
Red Cross estimates that 4,500 hours annually are spent helping
military families during times of crisis. American Red Cross
communication services keep military personnel in touch with their
families following the death or serious illness of a family member or
other important events, such as the birth of a child.
The Red Cross
quickly sends these communications on behalf of the family to members
of the U.S. Armed Forces serving anywhere in the world, including ships
at sea, embassies and isolated military units. The information or
verification in a message assists the service member's commanding
officer with making a decision regarding emergency leave.
