VINTAGE AMERICAN RED CROSS VOLUNTEER PIN - GRAY LADY SERVICE - $12 - (Wendell, NC)

Vintage Red Cross Volunteer Pin representing the Gray ladies. Measures 1" diameter. In excellent condition. Thanks for looking! :) The Gray Ladies were American Red Cross volunteers who worked in American hospitals, other health-care facilities, and private homes, notably during World War II. They provided friendly, personal, non-medical services to sick, injured or disabled patients. They wrote letters, read, tutored and shopped for patients, and served as guides to visitors and as hostesses in hospital recreation rooms and at information desks. Gray Ladies also provided hospitality services in Red Cross Blood Centers and joined forces with other Red Cross workers in caring for disaster victims. I have parents, both in their 90's, who live about 100 miles from me and need my help (usually on Mondays and Tuesdays but doctors appointments and/or a crisis can occasionally change those days). I list 2 days handling but if I am in town it will be shipped much quicker than that!! Thanks for your understanding. :)
