Be a Hero
The U.S. government is paying for soldiers to fly home from Iraq and Afghanistan for two-week leaves--but the government's ticket only takes them as far as Baltimore, Dallas, or Atlanta, which is fine if the soldier lives there. Otherwise, they're often left to buy an expensive last-minute ticket on a flight home. Heromiles.org gives people a chance to donate their frequent flyer miles to help these soldiers get home. It's your chance to support the troops in a lovely, tangible way. And if anybody deserves it, they do.
