Multiple wing military Airmen and civilians made a difference by donating their blood inside the 932nd Airlift Wing headquarters on Dec. 14, 2017, at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. Hanging out and donating with Santa and Mrs. Claus is Staff Sgt. Kaitlyn Kennedy, 932nd Development and Training Flight Coordinator. She said, "I'm following in my grandma's example. She used to donate blood before she passed away, 26 gallons over her lifetime, and I'm carrying on that legacy." Kennedy has donated over a gallon of blood and with each donation, she knows three lives are saved through the American Red Cross processes. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood due to accidents, transfusions, and cancer treatments. Approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in America.
