When the big flood happened on the Guad several years back, the Salvation Army were the first on the scene handing out coffee, sandwiches, and water. It was 3 days before anyone saw the Red Cross.
My father would die before donating to the Red Cross. When he was in Korea, one of the soldiers had an emergency at home. The Red Cross got him home, but then he had to reimburse them for the expenses. :-( JMHO.
