The American Red Cross Puerto Rico Chapter is honoring people who served the country and recognizing the continued contributions of veterans and military families. In Puerto Rico, Red Cross volunteers visit the Veterans Hospital weekly to deliver kits with hygiene items to veterans hospitalized at the facility. They also hold wellness activities at the Community Living Center of the Veterans Hospital once a month.
The military community and the American Red Cross have had a close relationship for many years; it begins from the first moment they enter the armed forces and continues throughout their lives, even when they become veterans.
"The military community and the American Red Cross have had a close relationship for many years; it begins from the first moment they enter the armed forces and continues throughout their lives, even when they become veterans. That is why today we recognize them and thank them for their significant and valuable contribution," said Lee Vanessa Feliciano, regional executive of the American Red Cross Puerto Rico Chapter.
The American Red Cross in Puerto Rico has more than 50 veteran volunteers, many of whom support precisely the Service to the Armed Forces area.
