Petty Officer 2nd Class Petty Officer Kenneth Boyce, hospital corpsman, a native of Spokane, Wash., returns pills to a medicine bottle as part of his duties at the Expeditionary Medical Facility pharmacy, at Life Support Area, Kuwait. Boyce donated bone marrow to a cancer patient twice while stationed stateside as part of the C.W. Bill Young/Department of Defense Bone Marrow Donation Program. According to the program, more than 500 of the 30,000 people diagnosed each year with serious or fatal diseases that require bone marrow transplants to save their life are children and adults associated with the Department of Defense. Boyce hopes to meet the woman whose life he saved after he completes his tour of duty in the middle east.
