Our military is not "flying free" as most Americans believe. As a
majority of the airlines do not provide discount fares for the
military,
the men and women actively serving our country are paying for their own
flights home during leave and - in many instances - are paying higher
fares than most of the public.
The reason for this is that they are
unable to book their tickets in advance as their leaves are not always
granted 21, 14 nor 7 days in advance. Please sign the Military Airfare
Reduction petition to ask the government and 11 major airlines to
provide military discounts to those on active duty. Many are unable to
fly home because of the inability to afford the airline rates.
Please sign this petition in the hopes of showing our military who
serve
in place of those of us who will not fight our appreciation for their
service and dedication.
