July 4th saw Sue continue her volunteering.  For the last 7 years she has portrayed Lady Liberty in parades and promotions all over Houston.  2004 gave her the opportunity to bring the Blood Bank blood shortages into the spotlight.  Especially around the Independence Day holidays, the blood supply runs dangerously low.  There is little more patriotic a volunteer effort that one can do then donate blood.  Sue recognizes that our very liberties are protected by those who often time are the most in need of that blood.
So she decided to use her notoriety to promote this healthy activity.  Alerting the Blood Bank that she was coming also gave the heads up to the TV stations who showed up to cover the story.  Both Sue and Terry have become frequent donors over the years and both were covered by the cameras.  Giving blood is easy and painless.  There is no synthetic substitute for human blood.  Without donors, we are in trouble!
