Donations of Miles to HeroMiles & other charities
Some airlines of the USA incl. AA, DL & UA are accepting donations of FF miles to Heromiles.org, which gets GIs home on leave from where the military planes from Iraq leave off (BOS, ATL, BWI, DFW). I find it a shame that Congress has not yet funded tickets all the way home for our troops, so in celebration of Veterans' Day & Thanksgiving I have donated 5183 DL miles & 1810 UA miles to HeroMiles. I want to encourage everyone to do the same & or write their Congresspersons. Btw, HeroMiles promises to return unused miles to the donors if Congress funds tickets for GIs, making this no longer necessary.
