Let's Bring Em Home
Let's Bring Em Home (LBEH) is a non-profit organization, established in 2001, that arranges for transportation for enlisted military personnel who cannot afford the travel costs otherwise. LBEH is active primarily before and during the US winter holidays, giving junior military personnel an opportunity to fly home and spend the holidays with their families. Travel is provided for free to the personnel who qualify.[1]
In 2006, LBEH raised over $64,000 from 820 donors and received 852,500 donated air miles. The organization purchased tickets for 145 military personnel in that year.
LBEH is organized by Ernie Stewart,[2] the organizer of Ernie's House of Whoop Ass, and Kathryn Jenson, a reservations employee with Continental Airlines.
LBEH is canceled for 2020 per their website, and the EHOWA website has not been updated for almost 2 years now.
