SATERN = SALVATION ARMY TEAM EMERGENCY RADIO NETWORK http://www.satern.org/ What We Do Emergency communications etc. etc. ----------------------------------------- LAT exposé: "The Red Cross money pit" - The TRUTH at last!!! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/25/95628/8554 ----------------------------------------- It has always been my personal opinion that the Salvation Army is a MUCH better organization than the Red Cross / Red Crescent . Organizations like the Red Cross / Red Crescent have enormous overhead, including high-paid executives and posh offices. Ace - WH2T Sounds like an interesting group---I'll check them out. Yes... I often heard unfavorable remarks made about the Red Cross---especially from servicemen (including my father after the WWII) but consistent praise for the Salvation Army. I recall the Red Cross blood drives of 9/11---then blood thrown away because there were no storage facilities available; some doctors wondered why all the blood since there was no need for it. The story made the national news for a couple of days then forgotten. I hear good words about the Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) as providing excellent service during disaster relief; however, I don't know of their communications needs. If the Red Cross is 'particular' then the heck with them; better to concentrate efforts elsewhere and make a good showing---the word will get out. Thats right Tom. You hit it right on the head mate.
