Airman 1st Class Alexander Myers, 88th Air Base Wing Medical Center laboratory technician, takes blood from Tech. Sgt. Michael Benzing, 445th Maintenance Group, plans, scheduling and documentation office, during a blood drive held at the 445th Airlift Wing Jan. 27, 2017. The event was sponsored by the 445th Aerospace Medicine Squadron for the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Blood Donor Center. Nine units of blood was collected. According to the WPAFB Donor Center, type O blood is 45 percent of all Americans and O positive is 85 percent as compared to O negative. Type O positive can be given to anyone regardless of their blood type and with war-time injuries. One trauma victim may require 40-plus units. One donation can save up to three people.
