[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] On the 22nd, 100 blood donation certificates poured into the Gyeongnam Blood Center.

These certificates were donated by the soldiers of the Navy's 82nd Land Training Squadron, Land Training Battalion.

The squadron soldiers have consistently rolled up their sleeves to participate in group blood donations more than twice a year, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year alone, about 150 soldiers endured the 'sting,' and they hoped that the blood donation certificates they collected would be delivered to neighbors suffering from rare diseases such as leukemia or pediatric cancer.

Sergeant Major Kim Seongjin and Sergeant Baek Jaehyun, who delivered the certificates, said, "Although it is not a large amount, we hope it will be used to help neighbors in need in the local community," adding, "Together with the unit members, we will continue to actively participate in life-sharing blood donations for patients fighting illnesses."
