Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I work in a small blood center in Upper Michigan; we average 20-25 donors per day coming through the blood center. On September 11, 2001, we expected to see an increase in donors because everybody wants to help when a tragedy occurs. The outpouring of donors was overwhelming!!! We extended our normal hours of operation to try and get as many donors through as possible. At about 10pm, we finally told the rest of the donors to come back on 9/12. September 12 ended up to be a repeat of September 11; once again we had a long line of blood donors waiting up to 3-4 hours to donate. Our two day total of blood donors was over five hundred. A big thank you goes out to all of our volunteers, both donors and helpers. We all came together to work toward a common goal. We truly were "united" within the United States.
