U.S. Army Spc. Christian Sutton, assigned to the Signal Intelligence and Sustainment Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Armored Division, talks to Soldiers attending the Basic Leaders Course about bone marrow donations during the "Operation Ring the Bell" bone marrow drive held across Fort Bliss, Texas, August 6, 2024.
Sutton, known across Fort Bliss as the "Bone Marrow Guy", visited more than 40 different units across Fort Bliss from August 5, 2024, through August 16, 2024, as part of a bone marrow drive to inform and sign up Soldiers to the Department of Defense's Salute to Life bone marrow donation registry program. A native of Sumter, South Carolina, Sutton has a personal reason for his commitment to the bone marrow drive. His mother passed away from Hodgkin’s lymphoma when he was just four years old.
