Celebrating the American Red Cross

This weeks marks an important anniversary as Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross on May 21, 1881. I have long supported the Red Cross. I have decided to pay tribute to the American Red Cross by publishing interesting Red Cross trivia:

• Did you know that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers helped build the American Red Cross headquarters?
• The American Red Cross offers training to certify babysitters to more safely care for children.
• The Red Cross also offers training on pet first aid.
• The President of the United States is always the honorary chairman of the American Red Cross.
• The American Red Cross supports the work of the chapters of the International Red Cross by, for example, supporting relief work in Haiti and other disaster-affected areas.

I invite Red Cross volunteers to expand on this list!
