Tribute to the Troops-Wounded Warriors Charter Flight

American Airlines is partnering with the Blue Man Group, Sands Foundation and ThanksUSA to host wounded warriors and their spouses from around the country for a special weekend in Las Vegas. American is chartering one of its yellow-ribbon aircraft to bring this special group to Las Vegas to thank them for their sacrifice and service to our country. The American Airlines “Yellow Ribbon Express” will have a send-off reception and take off from Washington, D.C. (DCA), travel to San Antonio (SAT) for a welcome reception and pick up more heroes, and then arrive at Las Vegas (LAS) to another welcome reception and enjoy a weekend of relaxation and educational seminars sponsored by the Sands Foundation and The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. On Thursday, a special Blue Man Group performance at 7 p.m. will honor America’s heroes, with all proceeds from ticket sales supporting ThanksUSA’s program to provide scholarships for the spouses and children of military men and women.
