Sgt. 1st Class Mark Bruns, a donor assigned to 5th Armored Brigade, First Army Division West, fills the form to register for a blood donation during a blood drive on Fort Bliss, Texas, May 16, 2021. Blood drives are important because they provide quality blood products for service members, veterans and their families in both peace and war. For 5th AR BDE, preparing Soldiers to go into harm’s way isn’t merely a cold, mechanical process; rather, it’s a dedication to individuals’ strengths and needs, focused on achieving the mission.
