Learn How Americans Use Frequent Flyer Miles to Support Our Troops
"The military does not pay the cost of their [domestic] travel in the United States,
so your frequent flyer miles are a huge help. Americans have donated their unused frequent
flyer miles to the Department of Defense to help troops travel home
and spend quality time with their loved ones, without worrying about how much it will cost."
(link source: Fox News Cable TV,
Your World w/Neil Cavuto, Fox News Channel, Dec. 5, 2003)
and
U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger
(
Maryland's 2nd District) who presented "Operation Hero Miles" on Cavuto's show, December 5, 2003.
