From the Desk Of:
Navy Capt. Roland Fahie, Director, ASBPO
 Greetings! Welcome to the March edition of Focal Point! In this issue, we celebrate Women's History Month by introducing you to several influential women in the military blood banking community. I encourage you to join us and as we honor the many women -- both military and civilian -- who have made great strides in their personal and professional lives. These women continue to help us achieve our mission of providing blood and blood products whenever and wherever they are needed the most. Their efforts help us save lives of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and their families worldwide. As always, please remember to share your stories with us. Our donors, volunteers and supporters are the heart of the military blood program. We want to hear from you, learn what you are doing and find out how we can help you save lives. Remember, you all are the Armed Services Blood Program! Respectfully, Capt. Roland Fahie |
