WHEREAS, Ric Martin, a selfless and caring member of the Loudoun County community, completed his 500th blood platelet and plasma donation at Inova Blood Donor Services on December 14, 2013; and WHEREAS, a generous and dedicated servant to the community, Ric Martin has been donating blood for more than 30 years, and he has spent at least 46 days' worth of time donating blood; and WHEREAS, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations, an individual may only donate whole blood every eight weeks, plasma and platelets every four weeks, and platelets every two weeks; if a person were to begin donating every two weeks, it would take 21 years to accomplish what Ric Martin has achieved; and WHEREAS, Ric Martin served as a volunteer at Inova Blood Donor Services for two years, before becoming the donor recruiter; as blood platelets are often in short supply, Ric Martin encourages other members of the community to be proactive in donating blood platelets, in addition to whole blood and plasma; and WHEREAS, through his benevolent acts, Ric Martin has been a positive force in the community, bettering countless patients' lives on a daily basis and helping improve their overall health; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That Ric Martin hereby be commended on the occasion of his 500th blood platelet and plasma donation in December 2013; and, be it RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Ric Martin as an expression of the House of Delegates' admiration for his devoted service to the members of the Loudoun County community. |
