EMPHASIS: Blood Drive To Be Held At Troop C Headquarters, Weldon Spring


Captain Ronald S. Johnson, commanding officer of Troop C, Weldon Spring, MO, wishes to invite the public to participate in the “Red Cross, Troop C Corporal Michael E. Webster Blood Drive” Thursday, October 2, 2014. The blood drive will be held at Troop C Headquarters located at 891 Technology Drive, Weldon Spring. The drive will begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m.

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. Someone is killed or injured in an alcohol-related crash every two hours in Missouri. Alcohol was involved in 30% of all fatal crashes during 2013. 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 Corporal Michael E. Webster Blood Drive.
