It is a two-day blood drive honoring those serving our country in the armed forces.
The red cross wants to show appreciation to the troops, while increasing their blood supply during the summer months.

The Red Cross is the primary blood supplier for Southwestern Indiana.
It provides blood to 16 hospitals in the Tri-State.
