Posted by: Until Every Troop Comes Home ＼(｀0´)／URGENT!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!＼(｀0´)／ A 22-year-old service member is currently being treated at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston for severe IED blast and burn injuries received in Afghanistan; he is in urgent need of B Negative blood. Only 2% of the population have this blood type. Because of the extent of his injuries and numerous surgeries those injuries will require, it is estimated that he will need 40 to 50 units of blood each week. The Akeroyd Blood Donor Center at Fort Sam Houston is asking all service members, family members, DOD civilians and retirees with B Negative blood type to please contact the center at (210) 295-4655 or Mark Salcedo at [email protected]. The center is open Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to noon for walk-ins.If you want to donate blood specifically for DoD use, go to militaryblood.dod.mil to find an Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) donation site near you. They will ship it to where it is most needed
