BROOKLYN, Mich. – What began in 2002 as a tribute to honor the victims and heroes of September 11, has now evolved into so much more. This year, the Spirit of America blood drive will return to the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, and it promises to be just as memorable. This event isn’t just a blood drive; it’s a unique opportunity for the community to honor and remember all those affected by 9/11. Since its inception in 2002, the Spirit of America blood drive has collected more than 9,773 pints of blood, all of which has the potential to have helped more than 29,319 lives. “The Spirit of America has evolved out of a simple need to want to do something for 9/11 into a meaningful, heartfelt and truly good thing to do with our community,” Roger Curtis, track president, said. Those who attempt to donate blood will have the opportunity to ride the MIS tram around the track, through the tunnel to the pits and into MIS’ Home of the Brave exhibit. The exhibit is a 4,000-square-foot multi-media exhibit featuring “as it happened” videos, Presidential letters, magazines, newspapers, and more. Donors will also be treated to lunch…
