MILES OF CARE PACKAGES

First Degree believed frequent flyers of American Airlines and the USO were uniquely united in their support of the brave men and women who fight to keep our nation safe. In launching "Flying High for Troops", AAdvantage® members were offered the opportunity to sponsor care packages and send personal messages of support to service members deployed overseas. As a special thank you, the USO rewarded AAdvantage® members 125 miles for every care package sponsored.

Since November 2003, AAdvantage® members have donated over $520,000 at www.usocarepackage-aa.org, sending 21,000 care packages and message of thanks to the troops. American Airlines will continue to support the USO throughout 2006 by promoting the program to AAdvantage® members through various electronic and print media and on www.aa.com
