This is why I would prefer for the Salvation Army to be in charge of notifications for the Military instead of the Red Cross.

I don't know what "notifications for the Military" are, but I'm with you on the Red Cross. Guys who fought in Vietnam said both the Red Cross and Salvation Army used to come into the trenches with coffee. Only, the Red Cross used to charge them for it.

From tainted blood to 911 mismanagement to redirecting donations intended for So CA fire victims to Katrina, the Red Cross has always been haunted by scandals, abuse of funds, incompetent management, or worse. I've even heard stories of them charging deployed GI's for care packages during WW2.

I support Salvation Army instead. They were there for my grandparent's family when they were really needed.
