Serious illness in a marine‘s family required his return home. The Red Cross helped him arrange for leave and advanced the cost of the trip. A sailor‘s father lost his job. The Red Cross got him another, and, forâ€" tunately, a better one. A soldier‘s mother had to have an operation unexpectedly. His married sister wired him they lacked money. The Red Cross took care of it. Another man had lost track of his family some time prior to his inducâ€" tion. The Red Cross found them. Each of the nation‘s 3,700 Red Cross chapters cooperates with Red Cross personnel on duty with the armed forces.

When ‘problems do arise, members of the armed forces and their families at home may look to the Red Cross for aid in solving them.
