I don't know why, but MANY vets of WW11 ( my father, a Marine, included) had nothing good to say about the Red Cross and would never give them a dime. How about any of you older vets out there, do you have any input as to why ? I never knew why, but many had bad experiences with the RC.

Hell it goes back further than that .My mother used to tell me my uncle and the other vets from WWI hated the RED CROSS. She said the group they liked the most was the SALVATION ARMY. I never forgot that

My Father said the same and I always contribute to them. Thanks for your input. I wished I had asked more back then when I heard how much the RC was not liked by the service men but I was just a kid and didn't pay THAT much attention to ask questions as to why.
