The defense media activity at Port
Maine, Maryland, recently hosted an Armed

00:11.328 --> 00:14.891
Services Blood Program Blood Drive to
support National Blood Donor Month.

00:15.275 --> 00:18.667
Personnel from Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center at Bethesda

00:18.795 --> 00:22.122
conducted the drive.
We have a unique mission and that is to

00:22.256 --> 00:26.688
support the wounded warrior and
DOD beneficiaries wherever they are throughout

00:26.688 --> 00:31.253
the world.
So, whether they are at Fort Sam Houston,

00:31.573 --> 00:36.803
at Brooke Army Medical Center, or whether
they're in Afghanistan at a fort operating

00:36.970 --> 00:43.076
base, if there's a doc and a nurse there
and they're practicing military medicine

00:43.328 --> 00:46.805
and they need blood, it's our responsibility
to make sure that they have it.

00:46.805 --> 00:51.029
Blood Drives help to replenish the stock,
which is currently facing a shortage.

00:51.029 --> 00:54.144
From the Defense Media Activity,
I'm Petty Office Shannon Burns.
