About Operation Hero Miles
--------------------------
Operation Hero Miles was started by Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger of
Maryland's 2nd Congressional District. Soldiers on R & R or emergency
leave from Iraq or nearby countries fly into Baltimore Washington
International Airport, then have to pay their own way to see their
families. Operation Hero Miles communicates information to the
American public, the troops and their families about the airline
donation programs so these soldiers can see their families and loved
ones as soon as possible.
This website, www.heromiles.org, will serve as a clearinghouse for
information for members of the military, their families, Members of
Congress, the airlines, and frequent flyers who wish to donate miles.
