“The Salvation Army is a good organization...The Red Cross is pretty much useless.”
I remember two of my Uncles saying the same thing during WW II. The Salvation Army was always at the docks for returning troop carriers giving out free cups of tea, doughnuts, and blankets. The Red Cross charged you sixpence for tea or doughnuts and no blankets to returning troops. Also, the Salvation Army doesn’t pay huge salaries and perks to their Managers.
Yep.
