MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP BLAZ, Guam – During National Blood Donor Month, Camp Blaz’s call to action was to host a successful blood drive for the new year. Spearheaded by Sgt. Kendall Jones and Lance Cpl. Afton Smiley, both stationed at Camp Blaz. They coordinated with Naval Hospital Guam’s Armed Services Blood Program to find a venue, set up personnel, and solicit for donors.
From early morning, service members and civilians lined up with a shared goal: to save as many lives as possible. The donations collected serve a greater purpose of providing support to those who may need lifesaving blood during training, medical emergencies, or operational missions.
