Each year the American Red Cross provides assistance to more than 2 million service members and many of our nation’s 24 million veterans.Once a year, they send holiday greetings to veterans, military families and active-duty service members at hospitals and installations around the world. The cards and personal messages, sent by tens of thousands of Americans, provide a welcome “touch of home” for our troops during the holiday season. Mrs. Hicks’ First Grade contributed by sending Christmas Cards.
