FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines will honor service members and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces this Veterans Day, continuing the work it does every day by committing support to them and their families through a variety of initiatives that work to make a difference in their lives.
"As a veteran of the U.S. Army, I thank all of our veterans for their service to our country," said David Seymour, American's senior vice president – Technical Operations and executive sponsor of American's Veteran Military Employee Business Resource Group. "One way we're restoring American as the greatest airline is the world is by engaging our employees, and support of our veterans' initiatives is clearly important to them. We're honored to stand with the more than 100,000 men and women of American Airlines to honor our veterans."
More than 6,000 of American's employees currently serve or are veterans. The airline's Veteran Military Employee Business Resource Group (VMEBRG) is the first official company-sponsored group of its kind in the U.S. airline industry. The VMEBRG members are active in the communities where they live and work – providing support for Honor Flights, sending packages to deployed troops, making regular visits to VA Nursing homes, volunteering for American's initiatives that support the troops and assisting with planeside honors for fallen servicemen and women, among other activities.
On this Veteran's Day, American invites customers to join it in a salute to members of the U.S. Armed Forces past and present by sharing a picture of their favorite service member or sharing why Veterans Day is important to them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag "#SaluteToTroops." In addition, customers can receive 15 AAdvantage miles for each dollar donated through Miles in Support for All Who Serve, a program that partners with United Service Organization (USO) to support the morale, welfare, social and entertainment needs of troops and their families.
American employees' participation is the foundation for initiatives that support the troops including:
In addition to these initiatives, American offers travel amenities for active-duty service members including priority boarding, preferred seating and upgrades if available, waived baggage fees, complimentary Admirals Club admission for qualifying members, priority baggage delivery in the claim area, and reduced-rate shipping via AA Cargo.
"We have a long history of supporting our military and their families, both in their communities and when they travel," said Capt. Jim Palmersheim, American's senior manager – Veterans Affairs and a United States Army veteran. "All of us at American are privileged to serve these brave men and women, whether they're traveling to their next mission, on leave to spend well-earned time with friends and family or enjoying their freedom after serving their country."
