• July 1st-5th, 2009 - The American Red Cross will celebrate Independence Day this week by honoring Veterans in the Mid-Atlantic Region. What better way to celebrate the country’s birthday than by honoring someone who defended it. Beginning July 1st through July 5th, all donors who come out to donate blood or platelets will receive an "In Honor Of" card. The cards will be delivered to Veteran’s hospitals in Virginia and North Carolina.
  
  The "In Honor Of" cards have a place for the donor’s name, donation date and even a space for a special message to a veteran. Donors will also receive a FREE pair of American Red Cross Flip Flops when they donate between July 1 - August 31st (while supplies last)!
  
  The American Red Cross needs all blood types at this time, but especially blood types O and B. Summer is a difficult time of year for blood collection. Please take time this week to donate blood. For a full list of drives call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) or log onto weneedblood.org.
