We are getting ready to Honor 4 GMAs.  First Aid was on the list. We
THOUGHT it had to be a Red Cross Certified Class, we were wrong.  Dale
Sorenson from Outpost 153 in Springfield stopped by the National Office
and spoke face to face with Paul Stanek about this and he said to wear
the red cross patch you must be "Red Cross Certified"  however to get the
First Aid and CPR requirement meet,  any nurse, fireman or agent who
deals with first aid can teach this class.  So this was a blessing as we
had several nurses in the church but none "Red Cross Certifiied".  

Thought I would share this with the rest of the net.
