American Red Cross disaster relief efforts in Haiti received wonderful recognition on Monday during a visit to the Disaster Operations Center (DOC) at Red Cross national headquarters by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
President Obama personally thanked Red Cross employees and volunteers for their part in the work being done to assist the people of Haiti following last week's earthquake. The President expressed his thanks to everyone at the Red Cross for their work, saying to the employees and volunteers present, "tip-top operation, thank you and keep it up; you make us very proud."
Though he spoke straight to those present here in Washington, President Obama's words were for our Red Cross team all across the country. Working jointly, we will get the job done.
