For more than 130 years, the American Red Cross has provided
comfort and support to members of the United States military. In the past year,
the Red Cross has briefed more than 1.1 million people through the Get to Know
Us Before You Need Us program, delivered 344,000 emergency communications
services and distributed 140,000 comfort, care and therapy items in military
hospitals and other facilities. Locally, the Tennessee Volunteer Region has
provided 4,970 services to military families, services members and veterans
over the past year.
The Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces programs are a
cornerstone of who we are and what we do at the Red Cross. We have supported
the military and their families for more than a century, from the Civil War in
the 1860s to today’s deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
