Service to the Armed Forces
Serving the US Armed Forces, their Families and our nation's veterans
At one time or another, all military personnel and their family members will probably benefit from 
knowing about and using Red Cross services. American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) can help military members and their families cope with separation and other special needs related to service in the armed forces.
As a member of the military, you and your family are entitled to valuable Red Cross emergency services. We’re always there to help you:
- Stay in touch with loved ones. Our Red Cross worldwide emergency communications network operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We can assist you or your family in sending emergency messages regarding the birth of a service member’s child, the death or serious illness of a family member or other family emergencies.
- Get verification of emergency leave information. The Red Cross can provide you and your commander with fast, reliable information to help make decisions regarding emergency leave.
