If you've been thinking of donating to my favorite holiday cause, LBEH.org, now's the time.

As of this evening, by checking from Ernie's website I see that so far he's short $23,642.64 to reach his goal and so had to put new requests on hold until he can finish fulfilling the requests he's already received. So far he's bought 82 tickets which is great, but it looks like he needs to get a bunch more because before he put requests on temporary hold he had over 140 requests! I got an email from him today, and one of the US soldiers still in need would like to get to his home in Micronesia for the holidays. His ticket will cost Ernie $2400. The rest are about average cost.

SO--if you've got some spare cash you can donate, OR unused frequent flier miles you won't be using...please give Ernie a chance to get those soldiers home!
