USS Nimitz (CVN 68) broke the Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) single-day blood donation record Feb. 20 at a blood drive to support service members deployed to the Middle East, military hospitals and clinics, and retirees, and their family members.

...in one day, Nimitz Sailors donated 162 pints of blood, breaking the previous record of 133. The record for a two-day blood drive is 204 pints.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is so important. Our blood supplies are down in communities across the country. The troops need a steady supply of their own.

Thank you, Nimitz Sailors!
