By all accounts, they are in serious need of blood for the wounded.

I'm recovering from pneumonia, but you can rest assured I am dragging my sick *** down to the Red Cross tomorrow AM. I suggest you all do the same.

Peace.

 

I agree, definately if you are eligible, you should donate blood.

I would but my blood is bad, or so they tell.

 

alas, I would donate blood if they would let me but I have donated to recently.

Tried to, but there were so many people both Tam and I were turned away due to too many donors...

God Bless America, and it's good to see so many people willing to help!

 

I wish I could Shane, but they consider it unsafe for me to give blood due to my weight.

Mucho dibs on your avatar

 

It's the least I can do to show my support bro. My Air Force ROTC unit taught me to take pride in what I believe in.

And I'm happily awaiting the draft. There comes a time in life where you have to stand up and stand for something, if not...people will come in and throw **** on your face and make you their bitches. I'm not prepared to be like that and the US Government and People have my support. I just wish more people were more dedicated in the Military.

 

I did that today at lunch! Very import thing to do!

 

Well said, and unfortunately the time to take that stand in drawing near it seems.

 

Call the Red Cross at:
1800 GIVE LIFE
for info.

Please donate if you are Type O

 

Doing it tomorrow...

 

I know we are all eager to help the wounded.. But don't rush since Red Cross is swamped and turning people away. Wait until tomorrow pm before going or wait until Wednesday. A constant flow of blood donor works better because more and more wounded will be discover as we progress into the week.

Randy- good work Kengs

Good point Randy

 

I just donated 3 cases of bottled water and a 2 3lb. boxes of crackers to a local Blood Donor Site for the people waiting in the long lines to donate blood. There was WELL over an hour wait to give blood! Now that's AWESOME to see this country pulling together in time of need!!!

Our Pentagon City Costco location was shutdown early and then proceeded to bring plenty of bottled water to the Red Cross on location at the PENTAGON, as it's just blocks away.

Thanks,

I just donated blood today. (I am Type O+) There are so many people trying to donate and show their support many are still being turned away. Keep trying though...They will still need blood next week and weeks after that.

 

Man, I went down to give blood yesterdy and they said they had too many people there already. They took my name and number down. Called me today and told me to go give blood on Friday........

 

Here in Atlanta they said that there was too much blood in inventory and blood can only be stored for a month. They suggested to wait for a month and then give bllod to replenish the depleted supplies. Money and goods were also recommended. Something to consider.

 

Trey,

I was at the Red Cross office in Eastlake and they told me to come back in a month to give blood. So I donated $50

 

they have extra here too. they are always in short supply so this is at least one good thing that happened. apparently they are trying to freeze the blood so it won't go to waste (not done before, plasma frozen can last 1 year).

 

The wife and I are giving up some things for a while to donate a good chunk of change... all cars stuff and the such...
