   FYI... Get To Know Us Before You Need Us
 
 

Wilkes-Barre PA, February 14, 2003-- Community-based military members and their families are entitled to the same valuable Red Cross emergency services as full-time active duty personnel. When your doctor, your pharmacist, or your neighbor is mobilized or deployed with the Reserve or National Guard, the American Red Cross is there. We keep them in touch with their families at home, verify emergency leave information, secure emergency financial assistance and help families cope with separation when their loved ones are far from home in defense of our country. The AFES program will initiate support groups and start mental health counseling if conflict breaks out with Iraq.

You can help the Red Cross by keeping close at hand specific information you will need to quickly contact someone in the military. This includes their full name, social security number, address where they are deployed, home base unit and name and phone number of your local Red Cross chapter.
