national, state and local ones like the red cross to help out in times like this. the challenge in cities like philadelphia and elsewhere, those groups were overwhelmed. many of these groups -- if you look here, you can just surmise that these are probably women 18 to 45, which is the demographic most likely to be hit hardest by this virus. so you had lots of medical professionals volunteers and nurses getting sick in 1918 and 1919. that further exacerbated and amplifying the problems that were already there. and social historians have beautifully and sadly documented that this led to a kind of loneliness, alienation, and fear by lots of other people. as the pandemic goes on and late fall into winter in the beginning of 1919, there's lots of relatively healthy people, no longer being very willing to help their older relatives or neighbors, because they'd seen how many young healthy people had been stricken down and killed very fast. and so there was less volunteering, and one story that comes out from this history of john berry and nancy bristo, for instance, is a

speaker, i rise today to remind us all of the great american red cross program, holidays for heroes. an opportunity to thank and support our military, veterans, and their families throughout this holiday season. we all look forward to gathering with family and friends and loved ones this time of year for our service members, that is a luxury that all too often is not able to happen. these men and women spend many nths at a time, times over a year, and in their service years, away from their families. that's difficult no matter what time of year it is, but it is for them the holidays their sacrifice is magnified. i'd like to encourage everyone to reach out to their local red cross chapters to find out how to send a card, how to volunteer, or get involved wherever they see fit to spread some holiday cheer to our heroes. even a small gesture can brighten a holiday season for those that are employed -- deployed. that they are remembered, appreciated every day. but especially during this holiday season. take a moment out of your day today to let a soldier know just how much you appreciate

of course, hundreds of thousands of women signed up to work for the red cross. it is really amazing. they served here in the united states. they built these canteens along the train lines. for example, edith wilson, president wilson's second wife , and also eleanor roosevelt worked at the canteen at union station. and the soldiers were coming 7/24 through by trains and they had to greet them there with sandwiches and soup and writing paper, anything the soldiers would want. anything to help with the morale as they are moving to the port cities to jump on the ships that will take them to europe to the fight. in addition, many thousands more volunteer to go to france to operate red cross canteens. others became what were known as doughnut lassies. they operated these donut frying machines and handed out donuts to the soldiers. as a veteran, let me tell you, being able to have hot food when you are in the field is like the best meal you have ever had. let me tell you. so, you cannot really underestimate the importance of having a hot meal. it is really amazing. and

louis red cross motor corps. another piece of the puzzle in 1918 and '19, most male doctors had been drafted or joined the war effort. and there were lots of nurses as well overseas. and so there was a nursing shortage and a doctor medical staff shortage that was a part of that moment. there were lots of calls for needing more nurses and medical care in that era. another thing to think about, as you see so many images of the red cross and civil society organizations, voluntary organizations essentially, the red cross merges as a public/private hybrid, is that american expectations of public health were different in this era. americans did -- and citizens around the world, they didn't think that the government would necessarily provide for all of their medical care, they often fell back on community resources, church groups and other organizations, and national, state and local ones like the red cross to help out in dire times like this. the challenge was, in cities like philadelphia and elsewhere, they were overw
