Backpack Brigade: Operation Homefront

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 16:13 — Steve Heaser

This episode of Red Belly Radio was recorded in Dallas and in Denver and it is about a triple header of events. Denver launched some new non-stop service; we opened up a new Provisioning base in Denver; and we handed off a bunch of backpacks and school supplies to some great kids who have a parent service in Iraq or Afghanistan.

I interview Angela from Operation Homefront (operationhomefront.net) about her organization and what this means to these kids. Also, have you ever wonder what Provisioning does? Well Chuck Martin, the Provisioning manager in Denver, gives us the official answer.

Pictured right: VP Provisioning Scott Halfmann and EVP and COO Mike Van De Ven dumping a pillow-case size bag of peanuts with hundreds of bags of Southwest Airlines peanuts.

Yea! Southwest. Always my favorite....now more so. Just received a great voucher for my last trip to Tulsa. A disruptive passenger with bizarre behaviour annoyed some passengers (not me) so all of us got the vouchers. What other airline would do that? Thanks again, Southwest.
