The image captures a powerful moment that epitomizes the essence - a beacon of hope in times of turmoil. Private Jonathan Hoag's bravery and dedication were recognized on the 21st of March, 1944, when he was awarded the prestigious Croix de Guerre by French General Alphonse Juin in Italy. This honor symbolized not only his individual heroism but also highlighted the close bond between nations during wartime. The Red Cross has been at the forefront of providing aid and assistance across borders. In Casablanca Hospital during the French Campaign in Morocco, their presence brought solace to those affected by conflict. Their unwavering commitment to humanity knows no boundaries. From its early days during World War I at Eastern Station in Paris' 10th arrondissement to recent efforts aiding refugees on March 7th, 2015, it has consistently displayed compassion towards those in need. They have served as a lifeline for countless individuals seeking refuge from chaos and despair. Their humanitarian efforts extend beyond national borders as well. Colonel Schooto Chief Medical Officer's Legion of Honor ceremony held at Japanese Hospital showcased how Croix Rouge transcends cultural barriers, and is through such gestures that unity prevails amidst diversity. Croix Rouge's impact can be seen throughout history - even dating back to Rezonville in 1870 under Rothen Cross or transforming North Station's luggage room into a dormitory during World War I on September 28th, 1914. These images depict their tireless dedication towards alleviating suffering wherever it may arise. As we reflect upon these moments captured within time, let us remember the countless lives touched by Croix Rouge.
