millions of kit bags. Quick hands of the Junior Red
Cross fabricated comfort articles for camps and hospitals.

Through Red Cross Camp and Hospital Councils, many
citizens channeled comfort and recreation aids to our men.

Other hands, after courses of training in 3,756 Red
Cross chapters, served tirelessly in the nine corps of Volun-
teer Special Services. They drove cars, ambulances, and
trucks. They served many thousand mass emergency meals
to troops and civilians. Home Service workers helped care
for the families of the men and women of our armed forces
when in financial or other trouble. They worked as utility
helpers in Red Cross and other war aid centers.

Other hands reached across the sea through a Red Cross
communication system to check the well-being of friends
and relatives in enemy-occupied countries.

Millions of Americans were taught first aid and water
safety—including army and navy instructors and essential
war workers. By hundreds of thousands, women and girls
were taught Red Cross Home Nursing, lessening the
threat of epidemic, while an expanding 1 nutrition program
helped strengthen the home front.

There was readiness to feed and house millions of our
people in case of natural disaster. ‘There was the giving
of immediate relief when disaster struck, followed by as-
sistance to help restore health, homes, and livelihood.

Clothing and medicines and food by shiploads were
distributed to United Nations civilians in distress.

So marched the Red Cross—a people’s partnership.
