I received this e-mail today and I've been doing a lot of research on the American Red Cross and how much they actually give to victims...what I found hasn't been good. What do you all think?
I found on-line that several of the highest ranking empolyees at the American Red Cross makes hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, I also found that the highest ranking in the Salvation Army makes only $13,000. I don't know how much of this is actually true. Any thoughts?
"I heard the same story from my ex from his time in Vietnam - don't give to the Red Cross - give to Salvation Army. Read on . . .
Earlier in the year O'Reilly on the FOX Network stated that the supervisor of the Los Angeles Office of the Red Cross was being paid in excess of $300,000 per year, plus expenses of $150,000 plus a car rental. To my knowledge she did not appear to rebut or defend her outragious pay.
This is an example of what the RED CROSS pays their people across the United States. Takes a lot of $20.00 donations to pay their executives.
The Salvation Army is the one to donate to.
During WWII in the South Pacific the Red Cross charged us during WWII when they set up a canteen on those barren desolate islands that we Navy people were given liberty on for a couple of hours. They charged for coffee and coke if you could get past the officers hovering around the women. The cost was negligible, 5 cents or 10 cents, but when you are being paid $59.00 a month and having $4.00 taken out for the premium on a $10,000 National Service Life Policy, doesn't leave much.
I have totally no regard for the RED CROSS and have never given them a dime.
I just sent $250 to the Salvation Army for Katrina help. They are a good outfit.
