About First Aid

Emergency care or treatment given to an ill or injured person before regular medical aid can be obtained. Webster's Dictionary
First Aid has also been defined as emergency care given immediately to an injured person. Historically, the purpose of first aid is to minimize injury and future disability.

First Aid For Our Troops is non-profit and non-political. Our mission is to help returning soldiers and their families, who are in need of immediate medical or financial assistance due to circumstances beyond their control.

First Aid is currently holding a series of concerts to raise money for those who have risen to the call.
