Can you donate blood?

It's easy to donate blood for our troops and a great way to show those who are defending our nation that you support them.  The next drive is at the American Legion Post 55 in Winston-Salem on April 5, 2011 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.  In case you are wondering if you qualify for donation, check this link to the Fort Bragg Blood Donor Center: http://www.militaryblood.dod.mil/fortbragg/don_can_i.aspx

While it will take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to donate, you can help the process along by completing a couple of forms concerning travel and medications.  Here is a link to the travel form:

And here is a link to the medication form:  http://www.militaryblood.dod.mil/fortbragg/pdf/B14J0102_MEDICATION_LIST.pdf

You can pull up the forms, print them and complete them before you arrive.  Of course, not everybody will need these forms but if you do, you will have them in hand.

Thanks for coming out on the 5th of April to support our troops.
