On the morning of June 5, a voluntary blood donation activity with the theme of "Retirement will not fade, passionate blood forge loyalty" was organized in Sanshipu Town, Jin'an District. The volunteers of the "Hongyao Jianghuai" volunteer service team of retired soldiers interpret the responsibility and dedication of retired soldiers with practical actions, and convey warmth and positive energy to the society.
At the event, the bright red team flags fluttered in the wind, reflecting the resolute faces of the veterans. Huang Renyong, who has served in the army for many years, has donated blood for the eighth time. While cooperating with blood collection, he said with emotion: "As long as my body allows, I will continue to do the task of donating blood to save people. Although I have taken off my military uniform, the soldiers' sense of mission and responsibility have always been there. I am very proud to contribute to society by donating blood." Li Qiang, a young veteran, participated for the first time, and was a little nervous but firm in his eyes: "The army taught me to contribute. This is my first blood donation, and it is also to fulfill the promise of 'serving the people'." The blood was poured into the blood storage bag, and every drop was filled with the veterans' affectionate feedback to society. 30 people successfully donated blood in this event, with a total blood collection of 11,000 ml, effectively supplementing the local blood bank reserves.
It is reported that since the three times this year, the Lu'an Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau, the Municipal Health Commission, and the Municipal Red Cross Society jointly launched the "Hot-blooded Jianghuai·Military Soul forever" veterans' voluntary blood donation activity, and widely publicized and mobilized through new media matrices such as websites and public accounts. Veterans across the city acted upon the order, responded positively, and actively participated in the voluntary blood donation activity. This blood donation is an important practice for retired soldiers to learn from Lei Feng's volunteer service. Bags of warm blood carry the veterans' affectionate watch over the city. The resolute faces reflect the indelible belief in military spirit, demonstrate the era style of retired soldiers who "retire not fade" and establish the noble character and good image of retired soldiers in the new era who care about their lives and are willing to contribute.
