NATA and Its Members Unite to Support Our Nation’s Veterans

Washington, DC, December 29, 2016 – The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is pleased to announce the donation of nearly $18,000 to veterans organizations raised through the 2016 NATA Flag Pins for Veterans Project. NATA and its members began the project in 2014 to support our nation’s veterans and to-date has raised over $75,000 in three years. Funds from this year’s project will once again go to the Veterans Airlift Command and the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation.

“I sincerely thank all project participants. Their support, dedication and generosity to our veterans is truly moving,” stated NATA President Martin Hiller.

The NATA’s Flag Pins for Veterans Project begins each year in early May and continues through Veterans Day. NATA members participate by displaying flag pins in their operations for donations or by making a direct donation to the project fund.
