People from the KMC showed up at the Ramstein Northside Fitness Center Sept. 7 to participate in the American Forces Network and USO sponsored bone marrow and blood drive.

The Armed Services Blood Bank Center-Europe based at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center conducts six to 10 blood drives a month throughout the KMC. Volunteers, like Airman 1st Class Jeff Neice, 86th Maintenance Squadron, do their part to make the event run smoothly.

“It’s great to be able to help with such a necessary cause, I found out about this volunteer opportunity through my organization, the First Four, and was eager to help in any way I could.” said Airman Neice.
