Team Meade,
The Armed Services Blood Program is the official blood program of the U.S. military, supporting ill or injured Service Members and their Families worldwide. Blood supply across the Nation remains critically low. We urgently need all who can, to donate and do so regularly!
This month is our Annual Army vs Navy Blood Donor Challenge come out and support the Service of your choice, everyone wins. The blood drive will be on THURSDAY, 04 December, 0900-1400 at the McGill Training Center. If you have not donated blood in the past 56 days, we hope to see you at this blood drive. If so, tell your friends!
We are in dire need of all blood types, with special emphasis on O and AB blood types. As you know O neg is the universal donor and ABs are used for plasma (the product that stops the bleeding of the severely wounded). All these types are extremely rare and hard to get, but we need all types. So please find it in your heart to come during the hours and donate blood.
