This book is designed to celebrate the Red Cross in Colorado. It is not a year-by-year history, but rather a snapshot of events which have transpired over the past century. The symbol of the Red Cross, according to Young & Rubicam Brand Asset Valuator, is more trustworthy than 99% of other brands. That is because the Red Cross is people. People who are there when there is a need, when disaster strikes, when soldiers are wounded, when your house has burned, when a tornado has obliterated your town, when a flood has washed away your dreams, when everything seems to be going wrong. When you look up Red Cross, you brathe a little more deeply and you feel--you just feel that perhaps it will be all right. The Red Cross is here. They will know what to do.
