We remember Clara Barton (1821-1912)


We remember Clara Barton who was born in Massachusetts on this day in 1821.  She died in 1912.

During her travels to Europe, she saw the work of the Swiss Red Cross over there.  She was inspired to start the organization in the US.
On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton and others started the branch in Washington DC.

We remember a great humanitarian and organization.
