For those searching for something rewarding to do with their free time, Ernie offered some pertinent thoughts. “In the Navy, we have an expression, ‘smoke em if you got em’. For me it means, if you have a skill or capability, use it,” he said. What we do (at the Red Cross) makes a difference,” Ernie said. “Our mission is simple: alleviate suffering.”
"The immediate gratification you’d get from helping someone—there are no words to describe it."
"I am drawn to the American Red Cross because of its diverse range of services and programs. From blood drives and disaster relief efforts to services for military families and health and safety training, the Red Cross plays a vital role in supporting communities across the country. By volunteering my time and skills, I can contribute to this important work and help ensure that the organization is able to continue to provide these critical services to those who need them.”
