I MENTIONED HEROMILES.ORG earlier, but I thought I’d mention it again. I donated my Delta miles — not the stash that I once had, since I don’t fly nearly as much as I used to, but the recipients will get more good out of them than I will.

UPDATE: Reader Stephen Hill of Delta emails:

I was reading your post about Operation Hero Miles, and wanted to thank you for donating. Delta SkyMiles customers have donated almost half of all donated miles to date (100 millions of 220 million donated). Thought you’d be interested to know. Thanks for your business, and your generosity.

And thanks to Delta.
