Letter to Margaret McLeod

This letter was sent to Margaret McLeod by American Red Cross Chairman Basil O'Connor in recognition of McLeod's service during World War II. McLeod was one of hundreds of Red Cross volunteers, many of them women, who provided services to American military personnel in Europe. McLeod saved this letter and the certificate it accompanied as part of a scrapbook and collection of letters and memorabilia from her service in Europe, which is now held by the Oregon Historical Society.
