February 24, 2010 Giving Blood Military Style

The Armed Forces were conducting a Blood Drive at Humphreys on 2/24.  If you have ever donated blood with the Red Cross, you know that they select an arm, put a blood pressure cuff on that arm and place an object in your hand for you to squeeze periodically.  Only in the Military would the object be a small rubber hand grenade with the words "Don't blow it  Give Blood".  ;)  I got a T-shirt for giving blood and they let me keep the hand grenade, too!


While I was donating blood, I learned that this blood drive would be the last they would have in Humphreys for at least a year and maybe for longer, due to budget cuts.  This is a very sad state of affairs.
