The American Red Cross provides a 24 hour communication link between members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Our staff and volunteers verify medical emergencies and other situations for the military authorities to allow them to make decisions regarding emergency leave. We can also assist military families in applying for financial assistance through the Military Aid Society.
Most Red Cross messages involve a birth, death, accident, or sudden illness of an immediate family member.
If a member of your family is serving in the Armed Forces, please remember to carry the following information about the service member with you at all times:
- First, middle, and last names
- Social Security Number
- Date of Birth
- Branch of Service and Rank
- Military Address
- Last known location (if different than military address)
It is advisable to also give the above information to another family member or close friend who does not live in the same geographic area and could serve as an emergency contact.
Red Cross services to military families are available 24/7 and are FREE. If you live in Rice or LeSueur counties, call the chapter at (507) 334-8471. |
