Serving Those Who Have Served

As the country prepares to honor our military on Veterans Day, Employees at Southwest Airlines got an early start today with a program called Operation Freedom Bird. This morning for the 12th year, Southwest Airlines sponsored a trip to Washington, D.C. for 50 Vietnam veterans.




Each year, with the assistance of the Phoenix Veterans Center, the non-profit organization Operation Freedom Bird selects the veterans who take the emotional journey to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and participate in Veterans Day activities.  Our Employees were there when they left and we will be here when they return to give them a special welcome home.  Stay tuned for more news as the Phoenix Employees at Southwest Airlines help honor those who bravely fought in Vietnam.
