Hello All!
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under
God's mighty hand, that He may lift you
up in due time."
I Peter 5:6
Good Morning Again....hi CatMom! :-)
Happy Friday!
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path."
Psalm 119:105
Good Morning All !
Thanks IslandGal - I did a little digging but didn't come up with much. The blood draw day is tomorrow and I have a call in to a local airbase but I am thinking that I am out of luck. Oh well... I will keep watching facebook to see if they ever take pictures of 239.
MamaValley,
That's a great idea to encourage the families of SRs to give blood too. Is there any info on the Red Cross site on this? Hope you can donate locally and still get a pic of your SR!
Greetings!
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13
Good Morning - I am wondering... my son sent a letter... was telling me about the blood drive... if I send a picture getting blood drawn then I can possibly get a picture of him getting his blood drawn. When Jeff originally told us about the drive I looked and couldn't find anything close to Colorado (Texas). Now I am wondering if I can go anywhere (my normal place that I donate?) and send a picture in... will that work? Or do I have to be in one of their locations? I think the drive is tomorrow so if anyone (or if Jeff sees this) has information I would appreciate it!
Thanks!
