Master Shipbuilder Reaches Blood Donation Milestone of 25 Gallons Master Shipbuilder Ernie Koehler (O45) reached a milestone on Aug. 18 for donating 25 gallons of blood to The American Red Cross bloodmobile at Newport News Shipbuilding. Koehler, who has been recognized by the Facilities and Waterfront Support Division for frequently donating blood to NNS’ bloodmobile said, “What motivates me to give blood is that I know that every pint can potentially help several people because my blood type is unique,” said Koehler. “I’ve done this for so many years and I will keep doing it as long as I can.” The American Red Cross’ bloodmobile visits NNS 48 times a year in various locations around the shipyard. To view the bloodmobile schedule, visit the K18 Corporate Citzenship and Government Relations website. For questions, contact Judy Fundak (K18) at 380-3011.
