Great post and cool pics Suzanne!! Great seeing you on Saturday. Even though I wasn’t able to donate blood due to low iron levels I still got the Carlson giveaways and bought a Caps blood drive puck and had them all signed by “Captain America”!! Great to see him take the time out of his schedule to make a special trip to N.VA to sign autographs for a couple hours for donors and employees as well as to donate blood himself – what a special guy he is!! Love ya Carlson!! Had a fun time despite the hot temps!!

This was a really great event. I’ve been donating blood since my freshman year of college (7 years ago). I’m from Hershey and have been excited about this event since it was posted in May. I even made a weekend of it. Went to Baltimore Friday and DC/Sterling, VA on Saturday. I missed JC because my appt. was in the evening, but I still got my bobblehead and T-shirt. It was a great event for a great cause! Kudos to the Caps and Captain America for being apart of something bigger than hockey!

I thought this was loads of fun and a great way to get people to come out.This was actually my first time giving blood. I’ve always wanted to, just never had the guts. Carlson has quickly become my favorite Cap, and I even splurged to get a jersey with his name on it. Unfortunately I didn’t get there early enough to meet him since right when I got there I saw him walk out to give blood, but I still think this was a great experience. I’ll probably donate a couple more times now that I know it’s not so bad. So even though he’ll probably never know it, I’d like to thank John Carlson for giving me the courage to donate blood, and thanks to the Caps organization for setting stuff like this up.
