Knox County Sheriff’s Office Employees give blood in honor of the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
“It’s an honor to have our men & women be so committed to giving blood as a way to remember the lives lost on 9/11. A day that changed America forever. However, for police, fire and EMS running toward what others are running from is just another day on the job. I want to recognize the American Red Cross and the valuable work they do, it is to be commended”.
