A joint effort between the American Red
Cross and the Salvation Army has made 2007 the sixth year
that the Proud To Be American License Plate has been
available. This attractive plate is more than just a symbol
of ones pride and commitment to the values of America, but a
contribution to help fund many of the programs administered
by the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
Over the past 5 years, 81 of Michigan's
83 counties have directly benefited from these funds in the
form of education and direct disaster relief. The Michigan
Red Cross has trained over 6,100 volunteers and has
responded to 16,842 local single-family disasters such as
house fires, tornados, and floods. These funds help us
provide the families with the necessities to meet their
immediate needs by supplying them with food, clothing,
shelter, and replacement medications to help them maintain
their dignity and begin the recovery process.
On your birthday this year the Michigan
Secretary of State is going to ask you to destroy your old
blue license plate and we encourage you to ask for the Proud
To Be American License Plate as a replacement. For a nominal
cost of just $35 you can proudly show your support for
America, the Salvation Army, and the American Red Cross.
