Today we pause to remember those lost in the attacks of September 11, 2001. Many of us remember that day vividly, and after 14 years, some of us weren't yet flying. The memorials and endowments in our brother's namesakes have helped many aspiring students and young pilots achieve their goals.

I'd like to invite, challenge, and encourage United Pilots to contribute $1 per paycheck to each of the four charitable funds. $1 per pay period per fund is about $100/year, and is tax deductible. A simple gift from all of us will make a significant impact on the living memorial for those pilots we lost.

Check out Just a Buck for details and a "how to" video on scheduling automatic payroll deductions. Brothers and Sisters, this is something United Airlines got right and I encourage you to participate.

Additionally, I'd like to highlight another opportunity to help fund two of the four "just a buck" charities. The LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation and the Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship funds participate in the Amazon Smiles program. Amazon donates half percent of your purchase price on goods bought on Amazon to the charity of your choice. Details about the program are on the "just a buck" site: Smile - Just a Buck


Thank you for your consideration, Never Forget.
