What began as a simple act -- donating blood to help save lives of other military service members and their families -- ended up saving the life of a U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Bavaria commissioned officer. Earlier this year, then 1st Lt. Eric S. Anderson Sr., executive officer for the U.S. Army Health Clinic Hohenfels, attended a blood drive, run by the Armed Services Blood Program -- Europe. Anderson was there to donate blood, something he had done several times in the past. It was at this blood drive Anderson's life would forever change.
