In 2022, Sgt. Dalia Javiel Kesterson signed up for bone marrow donor registry through Salute to Life online, not thinking much of it. Over time, it was promptly forgotten until April, when Kesterson finally got the call, saying she was a match.

To her, the choice was simple.

“I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it,’” said Kesterson, deputy master of ceremonies, Secretary of the General Staff, III Armored Corps. “When I found I matched, I was like, ‘Well, I already signed up.’ They (the family) already got told that they got a match so why not? What’s two weeks in bed going to do to me?”

Her match was an infant girl less than a year old, Kesterson said, and she needed bone marrow quick.
