Delta Air Lines Honors Veterans with Gift to Fisher House

November 14,2012

On Friday, Nov. 9, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, Delta CEO Richard Anderson, other military and elected officials, and hundreds of employees gathered at Delta's Technical Operations Center in Atlanta to mark the christening of the "Spirit of Freedom," which now bears a commemorative logo.

"At Delta, we have an obligation to support our employee servicemen and servicewomen, our veterans and the millions of others on active duty who fly with us each year," said Anderson. "In honor of their brave acts of service, selflessness and sacrifice, we are proud to dedicate this aircraft."

Delta's Veterans Employee Network collected letters and coordinated care packages for service members stationed abroad through a partnership with The Coca-Cola Company and the USO. Delta flight attendants also collected more than 3,000 thank you letters to send to those serving our country this Thanksgiving.
