Snowball Express begins Friday, Dec. 9.
American and American Eagle are donating nine chartered aircraft and providing free travel on several commercial flights for nearly 1,700 spouses and children of fallen military, who are traveling from 75 cities across the country, as well as eight international locations. Contact your GM to learn about volunteer opportunities. Get details on this and other upcoming events on Jetnet’s Event Calendar:
It’s for children who have a parent or parents that have been Killed In Action (KIA) in the wars. AA with other partners fly them with their guardian somewhere, last year it was 6 flags. I haven’t heard where their going this year. The Mayor, Pistol Pete from OSU as well as others will be there. We are there to pay Honor to the children whose parent have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I’m there to show them that this country hasn’t forgotten what there parent has done for me and our country. You always come out with more than you give.
