Please Donate Blood in Memory of Louden Lofgren

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FEENSTRA. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Louden Lofgren, the son of my friend and my former colleague, Iowa State Senator Mark Lofgren.

Louden sadly passed away at 2 years of age after complications from surgery, where he needed multiple blood transfusions.

After he passed away, his family launched a blood drive, known as Love Like Louden, to encourage folks to donate blood and draw attention to hospital shortages of blood.

Every 2 seconds, someone in America needs blood, and over 38,000 pints are needed daily.

If you can, please consider donating blood in Louden's memory.

May God bless the Lofgren family.
