Donate Your Miles for the Troops

Now here's a good idea....you can donate your frequent flier miles for the troops in Iraq.

Under "Operation Hero Miles," people will be able to turn their frequent-flier miles over to their airlines, which in turn will make them available to soldiers trying to get home for their brief leaves.

You can get more information at the Operation Hero Miles website.

It's a great idea. Soldiers are flown to Germany or Baltimore/Washington airport for free, but the rest of their trip home comes out of their pocket. And we all know how expensive short-notice flights can be.

Donate 'em if ya got 'em....and help spread the word.

What a fantastic idea - and quite timely, too, as NWA just recently sent out their year-end "use your miles for magazines" notice.

Gah - just went to donate mine and NWA hasn't replied yet. I'll have to check back later on it.
