Welcome sailors, friends, and family. The U.S.S. Bush crew portraits will be available to view and purchase at this site as soon as we receive the images from our photography crew. They encountered difficulty uploading the images, so we are having them shipped back stateside. We expect the images to all be up between 6/9-6/17. The coupon code offer will be extended to 6/30. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
Lifetouch Photography

As part of an ongoing effort to better 

serve the military community, the American Red Cross moved to a single 

telephone number for its emergency communication services in June 2011.

Beginning June 13, service members and their families can use one toll-free 

number, 877-272-7337, to send an urgent message to a service member.

Through this number, Red Cross emergency communications services can put 

service members in touch with their families following the death or serious 

illness of an immediate family member, upon the birth of a service member's child

 or grandchild, or when a family faces other emergencies. Additional Red 

Cross services, such as case management and emergency financial assistance, are also available.




For those people stationed overseas, the three options for calling will 

remain the same: calling 877-272-7337 direct, accessing the number through a

 military operator, or calling their local Red Cross station.

"An emergency situation can be a very stressful time for a military family, 

and having just one common telephone number to remember can make a difficult

situation a little easier," said Sherri Brown, the senior vice president of

 Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces. "U.S. military personnel and their 

families can remain confident that the Red Cross will be there to keep them

 connected when there is a crisis at home."





In the past, military families living outside an installation needed to 

remember the phone number for their local Red Cross chapters for emergency

communications, while those living on a military installation used the

 877-272-7337 number. Now, military members and their families can use this 

single number to initiate an emergency communication, regardless of where 

they live.

These folks are awesome! I had a massive heart attack Nov., 2010 and they contacted my son's command overseas in no time. While having an emergency is never a pleasant thing, I really believe the Red Cross, the Navy, and US Naval Forces Command Korea are all wonderful and truly do exhibit a family attitude. Thank you for posting the number.

what does one do when your sailors laptop has been stolen out of his locker and nobody will help to find it or find out what happened to it??  And why would anyone do that to a fellow sailor???  Don't these people realize that they are all in the same situation??  On top of it all, my son sent out an email to his unit saying that his computer was stolen and to be careful and HE got in trouble!!  So now he not only is out a laptop, but his command took his email privileges away!!  Does that sound fair?
