National American Red Cross Founder’s Day

A second "national day" entry today that I missed this morning -- the American Red Cross were always one of my monthly CFC contributions, along with the USO.

140 years ago, Clara Barton established the American Red Cross and it has been a tremendous source of aid since then — National American Red Cross Founder’s Day is observed in her honor and the history of the organization and is celebrated each year on May 21. We don’t know who founded this day, but we are all for commemorating this special event.
