EMPHASIS: Troop H To Host Corporal Michael E. Webster Memorial Blood Drive


Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, would like to invite the public to take part in the “Red Cross, Troop H Michael E. Webster Memorial Blood Drive” on Thursday, October 2, 2014. The blood drive will be held at the Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) Northwest District Office, 3602 North Belt Highway, St. Joseph, Missouri. The blood drive will begin at 10:00 a.m. and conclude at 3:00 p.m. All donors are reminded to please bring a photo ID if they wish to donate.

On October 2, 1993, Corporal Michael E. Webster was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver. Since his untimely death, blood drives like this one have honored his service to the community. Drunk drivers killed 239 people and injured 3,804 in Missouri traffic crashes last year. The Webster family, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the American Red Cross want to encourage everyone to come out and support the Michael E. Webster Blood Drive.

Appointments are not necessary, but if you wish to make an appointment go to savealifenow.org and then enter the sponsor code: msphtrooph or call Troop H Headquarters at (816)387-2345.

In support of “The Drive To Zero Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
