may be true, neither of the first 2 affect their disaster relief programs, which are, as the poster above stated, far more immediate, helpful, and personal and far less bureaucratic than those of the Red Cross.

In my family, stories go back to the differences in their relief to the troops on the frontlines of battle in WWII. We have supported their relief efforts for the past 70 years, will continue to do so and will enlighten others about their efficacy.

But your attitude is understandable also, and I respect it.
