Brief History part 2
The Second World War called upon the Red Cross to provide extensive services once again to the U.S. military, Allies, and civilian war victims. We recruited more than 104,000 nurses for military service, prepared 27 million packages for American and Allied prisoners of war, and shipped over 300,000 tons of supplies overseas. At the military’s request, the Red Cross also entered a national blood program that collected 13.3 million pints of blood for use by the armed forces.
Brief History
How and When
The Red Cross received our first senatorial charter in 1900 and a second in 1905, the year after Barton satisfied from the organization. The most recent version of the charter, which was adopted in May 2007, summarize the traditional purposes of the organization which include giving relief to and serving as a medium of communication between members of the American armed forces and their families and providing national and international disaster relief and cure.
