"The Red Cross was there with coffee and donuts."

How much did they charge?

[Young Werther]

My Dad would never give any money to the Red Cross. He was Navy and served on the Armed Guard contingent on a Liberty Ship. His first port of call after D-Day was Brussels.

While his ship was being unloaded he was given shore leave. There was an air raid and explosions in the harbor. When he returned to his ship he found that it had been sunk by a V-1 bomb. He lost his whole kit and only had the uniform he was wearing. He went to the Red Cross and was charged for ther skivvies, toiletries and food while he waited for reassignment. Whenever you said Red Cross he would spit!
