...IT HELPS
"Let's All Get Together—It Helps," the slogan
of the DoD Overseas Combined Federal Campaign, ties
in with the current theme of the American Red
Cross, "The Good Neighbor." Both express the value
of joint action.
In a brief definition, the American Red Cross is
an emergency-oriented organization. Its overall
aims are three-fold: to help prevent emergencies
that are avoidable, to prepare persons for emergen-
cies that are unavoidable, and to help people cope
with those emergencies that do occur.
Red Cross extends a helping hand in personal and
family emergencies to members of the nation's armed
forces around the world at some 1,900 military in-
stallations and medical facilities. At home, chap-
ter services to military families alone totaled
1,623,636 in 1973. Red Cross provides rapid commu-
nications from faraway locations to home communi-
ties, friendly counseling, and when needed, funds
for servicemen and their families facing crises.
