What's In a Name?

"Today is the 8 yr. anniversary of 9/11 and I wanted to do something to honor the victims who lost their lives that sad day. I went to donate blood at the Tulare 9/11 Memorial Blood Drive. I was handed a sticker with Robert's name. While I sat there waiting to give blood I wondered about the type of person Robert was and about his family. I see that he was a funny guy and very kind. It's sad to have lost such a person who has touched so many people. My prayers go out to his family and friends."

9/12/2009, yesterday I donated blood at The Tulare 9/11 Memorial Blood Drive. In Tulare Calif. at registration I was given a badge to wear, it had Jon's name on it and said I was donating my blood in memory of him, I did not know Jon or any of the other victims who were taken from their families that day. Know I feel as if I know him. May GOD be with Jon, and his family.

The 9-11 Tulare Memorial Blood Drive randomly chooses a victim of 9-11 to honor with a blood donation. I don't know anything about Micheal John Simon, but I feel it was my privilege to donate a pint of blood in his memory.
