Ospreys for Ospreys is a UNF donation drive for a group of Marines who deployed for Iraq in early September. The Marine squadron receiving the goods works closely with the V-22 Osprey aircraft – a connection Health Administration Director Doreen Perez noted when she began the drive in October.
Captain Bryan Willows of the VMM-266 Squadron corresponded with the Spinnaker from Iraq on the donation efforts and the squadron’s efforts in Iraq.

With the stress of the daily grind and just a few more weeks before final exams, students might find themselves becoming more susceptible to influenza, commonly known as the flu.

Every year, 5 percent to 20 percent of people will catch the flu. At least 200,000 people are hospitalized due to flu complications, and nearly 36,000 people die every year from those complications.
