The Big Red Cross
Saturday, August 30, 2008
Recently my 5- year-old grandson said "Nana, I seen your Red Cross on T.V." He is my favorite fan and loves having his "nana" tell him what I am doing each day with my local Red Cross office. I have taught him to watch the Weather Channel and have talked to him about hurricanes and tornadoes and floods. He knows what the word evacuation means and understands the goal of the Red Cross is to help those who are facing a disaster in their life. All this may seem like a lot for a 5-year-old to understand and maybe he really hasn't grasped the whole picture yet. But, he is quick to recognize the symbol of the big Red Cross and in his 5-year-old mind, knows it means help is there.
