A charity initiative organized by the Italian Blood Volunteers Association (AVIS) - Section of Sabaudia took place in recent days, in collaboration with a military representation of the Anti-Aircraft Artillery Command (COMACA) who, on Good Friday, voluntarily decided to adhere to the request of the Association for the collection of blood, particularly necessary in this period of medical emergency.

The participation and solidarity expressed by the anti-aircraft gunners will help to address the shortage of blood and blood products in the areas of first aid, surgery and treatment of specific pathologies. Moreover, throughout the year, numerous soldiers of the "Santa Barbara" periodically donate blood to the AVIS of Sabaudia with which a privileged relationship on the territory has now been consolidated.

Among the donors also the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery who, in expressing his satisfaction for the numerous voluntary participation of the COMACA staff, underlined the deep civic sense expressed by his soldiers, who with a small gesture of generosity, contributed concretely safeguarding human life by feeding the local blood bank.

This initiative represents an important moment of sharing those feelings of solidarity and altruism that are contained in the civic and ethical value inherent in the donation of blood and which testifies, once again, how much the Italian Army is a precious resource of the country that gives the own contribution in every social sphere to support the most needy, always at the service of the community, in the category of the motto: #noicisiamosempre # dipiùinsieme
