On Friday, Nov. 30, 2012 more than 1,700 children and spouses of fallen military traveled to North Texas, arriving via American Airlines and American Eagle flights for Snowball Express -- an all-expense-paid visit to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The seventh annual event ran through Tuesday, Dec. 4. Snowball Express is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization established in 2006 with the mission of bringing hope, joy and new memories to children who have lost a parent on active duty since Sept. 11, 2001. As the official airline of Snowball Express, American and American Eagle donated nine chartered aircraft and provided free travel on selected commercial flights for families traveling from 54 cities across the United States, as well as international locations including Puerto Rico and Guam.
