The Service to the Armed Forces component of the American Red Cross actively works with military families, veterans and community-based partners to ensure social, mental and financial services are met on a case-by-case basis.  As times have become difficult for many of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, we approach each military family as one of our own, and aid if necessary to help them through difficult times. These difficulties may arise due to deployment, combat related injuries, or medical conditions affecting the military member or a member of their family.
