 The Defense Media Activity at Fort Mean, Maryland recently hosted an Armed Services Blood Program Blood Drive to support National Blood Donor Month. Personnel from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda conducted the drive. We have a unique mission, and that is to support the wounded warrior and DOD beneficiaries wherever they are throughout the world. So whether they're at Fort Sam Houston, at Brook Army Medical Center, or whether they're in Afghanistan at a Ford operating base, if there's a dock and a nurse there and they're practicing military medicine and they need blood, it's our responsibility to make sure that they have it. Blood drives help to replenish the stock, which is currently facing a shortage. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Shannon Burns.
