Joe:
First off it's great that you came across those recordings. You know this gal would love to be able to hear those. Hope you have success in getting them "cleaned-up". Another real treasure.
Also, something Marion may be interested in :While at Ft. Belvior VA (Engineers) prior to going to the Infantry, at the Belvoir Red Cross Club, they recorded a small record for any G.I. (about 6" in diameter or so)) and
THEY mailed it to our homes (free of any charge). Fact is I still have 2 of them which I
recently ran across. Right now I am trying to have them cleaned up and re-recorded.
I am interested in hearing myself from over 60 years ago.
Papa- While it may be true about a few GI's from Nam or whereever, I think for the most part that I would have to agree with Joe and all the GOOD services that were provided by the Red Cross and other organizations during WWII.
Not that's it's inappropriate to bring up anything after WWII, but this is dedicated to the WWII and we are trying to compare stories and events during that time period. I'm sure we could find wrong-doings in the Red Cross organization after WWII and during present times, but that shouldn't be our focus here. 
I am enjoying this post and I thank all for joining in the discussion. Let's hear more.
