Subject: RE: BS: The Red Cross, WWII, and my in-laws
Mary, I cannot dispute your claims regarding the Red Cross in Viet Nam but I know what the Red cross DIDN"T do for me in Norfolk Va. in 1966.
As far as my information regarding WWII, it is anecdotal but I have heard it from WWII vets other than my father. They uniformly stated that the Red Cross sold "free" cigaretts to the GIs.
