We need you to help us support our warfighters wherever they may be!

What's behind the curtain?

🩸 Blood donation isn't as intimidating as you think and it could be the reason someone is ready for tomorrow's mission.

If you've ever wondered what actually happens when you donate blood we are here to offer you the inside info.

Key Steps:
✔️ Get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy meal, and hydrate.
✔️ Complete a quick health screening and answer a few questions.
✔️ Relax while trained professionals collect about one pint of blood using sterile, single-use equipment. The donation itself takes about 20 minutes.
✔️ Enjoy a snack, rehydrate, and head back to your day.

That's it.

Readiness takes all of us. By donating blood, you're helping ensure military medical teams have the lifesaving resources they need to care for our warfighters whenever and wherever they're called.

Walking Blood Bank drive ... USS John L Canley (ESB 6) will host a WBB drive Aug. 11. The drive will not only help the crew to add sailors to its WBB rolls, it also supports warfighters deployed overseas and patients at all Military Treatment Facilities. The ship is named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient, Sgt Major John L. Canley, a retired U.S. Marine.

As a Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary sea base, the USS John L. Canley is designed to serve as a mobile sea base supporting military deployments, special operations, and humanitarian missions

One phone call. One emergency. One military family in need.

In moments like these, there isn't time to wonder where lifesaving blood will come from. It must already be there.

That's exactly why the Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) campaign "From Us, For Us" is more than a slogan, it's a promise.

When two U.S. Army units at Joint Base Lewis-McChord learned members of their own military family had been impacted by separate emergencies, they didn't hesitate. They came together, rolled up their sleeves, and donated blood, not because they were asked, but because that's what teammates do.

Read their inspiring story and discover why donating blood is one of the most powerful ways we can care for each other: https://dha.mil/News/2026/07/02/15/53/Army-Units-to-Save-Lives-Through-Blood-Donation
