Just wanted to make your readers aware that proceeds from T-shirt sales go to benefit all areas that the American Red Cross serves, including local and international Disasters, not just U.S. Troops. I beleive you are referring to the Armed Forces Emergency Services (AFES) section of the ARC, which helps servicemen get messages or get home following a birth, death or illness in their family. Thanks for your support! Hello,
