Managing Director, Academic Programs, NPS Center for Homeland Defense and Security

"Riding down the highway from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and seeing the American flag flying on Israeli fire trucks and police vehicles, and small misspelled homemade signs on everyone's car window: We stand with you."

Dr. Wollman --- I too remember looking to give blood, unsure of what more I could do.  You describe the experience so well.  I will say today, that your act of service is truly useful; and the students of the Center recognize it dearly.  Thank you so much.

 Some of us "outsiders" recognize your contributions as well Lauren. My initial reaction to the attacks of 9/11 was to look for blood to take, rather than to give. Then I found a form of active and later, volunteer, service that put me into your and Michael's spere of influence. I was introduced to an institution and people, most specifically a woman, who taught that there are options beyond taking or giving blood. I am better for each of those introductions. Thank you for your influence, and your service.
