BTW .. remind me no to do that anytime soon .. LOL
OK .. well I forgot my dad was 8 yrs older than her and she was only in 8th grade when the War broke out
However, she said she doesn't remember the Red Cross being all that big during WWII ... what she remembers are stories of the the USO Canteens
She did refer to the women that ran the Red Cross in the Philly area as the Chestnut Hill ladies ... which means that they were the rich snobby women
She said it was the Salvation Army that rolled up their sleeves and took care of the boys when they came home from battle .. The Red Cross women just rolled bandages and wore the white aprons.
Now what that all means .... I have no idea ... LOL
Oh , that is cute, but I know what you mean..:):):) LOL..Yes I agree with what you said of the Salvation Army, I have always heard nothing but good works from them. There are two charities that I ALWAYS contribute to with out fail and that is the Veterans and also the Salvation Army. Thanks for checking on that for me..
