The Defense Department plans to recognize blood donors early next year.

Officials with the Armed Forces Blood Program say the people who contribute are saving lives every day.

National Blood Donor Month is in January. Defense.gov reports the Pentagon will recognize those donors who contributed to the Armed Forces Blood Program.

The joint program provides blood products for service members and their families in both peacetime and war.

The U.S. Postal Service says it has cleared the final regulatory hurdle to placing orders for next-generation mail vehicles. That keeps the Postal Service on track for taking delivery of the first of the electric- and gas-powered delivery vehicles next year. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022 that the completion of an evaluation required by the National Environmental Policy Act is an important milestone for postal carriers who’ve soldiered on with overworked delivery trucks that went into service from 1987 to 1994.
