Red Cross Emblem |

| The Red Cross emblem was adopted at an international conference in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864, as the symbol of national relief societies devoted to aiding wounded soldiers during wartime. The emblem was chosen in honor of the Swiss flag, which is a white cross on a red background. Today the emblem is used by Red Cross societies around the world; a red crescent emblem is used by the relief societies of many Islamic nations. | ||||||
