The American Red Cross stands shoulder to shoulder with victims after disaster, whether it's down the street, around the country or across the world.
And this last week, disaster has been down Forney's streets, down Arlington's streets and down Lancaster's streets leaving multiple city's to recover, multiple neighborhoods stunned and one Red Cross to respond.
Listen to our CEO, T.D. Smyers, as he expresses his gratitude for service to everyone who has helped spread our message, volunteer, and give selflessly of time and resources over the last 7 days.

One Week Later: A Message of Gratitude
ReplyDelete"Written by Kyla Campbell"
Should be: by Kyla Campbell (If I'm not mistaken, words are usually written.)
"The American Red Cross stands shoulder to shoulder with victims after disaster, whether it's down the street, around the country or across the world."
(There is little doubt that this was taken word for word from a higher level press release.)
"And this last week, disaster has been down Forney's streets, down Arlington's streets and down Lancaster's streets leaving multiple city's to recover, multiple neighborhoods stunned and one Red Cross to respond."
Should be: This paragraph is awful in so many ways that it is almost impossible to correct. "City's"? Really? And how about "...the streets of Arlington, Forney and Lancaster"? I cannot believe you graduated from a school of journalism or that you are paid to write anything beyond your name (and, as seen above, you did that incorrectly).
"Listen to our CEO, T.D. Smyers, as he expresses his gratitude for service to everyone who has helped spread our message, volunteer, and give selflessly of time and resources over the last 7 days."
Sigh. Do you own a basic English textbook or an AP Style Guide?
Welcome to the Age of Illiterate and Unprofessional Journalism.
But the people that pay you to be an illiterate embarassment are even bigger fools than you. Good job, morons.
