Nonprofits help military service members fly home for holidays by trading volunteer hours for flights.

Miles for Military, a nonprofit founded by Maureen Byrne, helps active-duty service members fly home for holidays by trading their volunteer hours for flights. Recently, they assisted U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Bryson Fussell in flying from North Carolina to Phoenix. Another nonprofit, Operation H.O.M.E., led by Byron Davis, helped U.S. Navy serviceman Ryan Boblett return to his family in Kentucky from Guam for Christmas. Both organizations rely on donations to fund their missions.
