BLOOD DONOR
During June, 1962, when the SS China
Bear made an emergency port of call at
Adak with a seriously ill seaman aboard,
the call went out for blood donors.
Corporal Jerry L, COOK of the Marine
Barracks responded along with some of
his service shipmates to the call. No
man can do more for his brothers than
give something of himself.
The Senior Medical Officer extends
his sincere appreciation to all personnel
of Adak for all their past blood dona
tions and confidence in "rising" to the
call in the future,
