I'm with you etops! It's been a long time since I've been proud to be part of this company, but today is the day. Thanks to all those wonderful men and women in the services that allow us our freedom.

Ugh!! We invaded Iran and no one told me. Have to dust off the 'ol pea-shooter now.

This is actually great news (opening the clubs to troops, not my above attempt at humor). I know from a troop perspective it is always nice to have someplace to hang your hat while waiting.

I thought the same thing! We have not been at war with Iran, nor are we occupying it.
Granted, USA-Iran relations have been strained since the 70s - in fact, diplomatic relations have been long severed - but the fact remains: we are not at war with Iran nor does the USA have bases within Iran proper.

Forwarded to my cousin this morning whose husband comes home next week from Iraq through ATL and on through CLT.

And this just in -->

A SUCCESSFUL HOLIDAY DRIVE AT DCA
Employees at Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) found the response to this year’s “Socks for Vetsâ€￾ drive to be even better than they expected. As in previous years, DCA employees, from both mainline and express, collected more than 200 packs of white socks for veterans at Washington DC Veterans Hospital. Volunteers at the hospital include the socks when they make up duffel bags for the vets, including items like boxes of Christmas Cards, candies, playing cards, magazines and underwear. “The socks seem to be a hot item,â€￾ said Kathy Walentowicz, a DCA shift manager. “When we were delivering them this year, the vets kept stopping us. They didn’t want to wait for their duffel bags. They wanted the socks right then. The reception we got from the Vets and volunteers was one of great appreciation and thanks.â€￾

The things we all do collectively for our men and women in uniform really make me proud to be a part of this crazy family. Thanks DCA!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, dont be to quick to hammer the old U . Don't you remember when this stuff all started? We offered special fares to the families so they could see their loved ones before they departed to Afghanistan? That was a very busy time for Res. ensuring that epecially parents got to see their children before they went overseas. We were allowed to bend the rules whereever to ensure that these trips occurred.

Jackie, a Co-ordinator in our Ops department organises a B-I-G drive every Christmas to go to a troop in Afghanistan and Iraq and CCY has always paid the postage with no hesitation. Every week we have different things to bring for the "parcel", e.g. sox/tshirts; toiletries; mag's;dvd's,videos.
