Joe Mamanna, a Marine Corps veteran, made the donation at the American Legion Post in Scarsdale on June 2. He insists he will keep doing it because he knows that 1 pint of blood can save three lives, said News 12.

The American Red Cross said that Mamanna can keep donating for as long as he wants, as there is no age limit on donating blood, added News 12.
