Reuniting Families with a Ticket Home

For many newly enlisted military members, visits home are more than just a luxury—they’re an opportunity to be with family, recharge, and feel the warmth of familiar faces. Unfortunately, flights and travel expenses can be cost-prohibitive, making these critical visits out of reach.

That’s where the Ben Jackson Foundation steps in. Through our Ticket Home Awards, we help service members return to their loved ones, easing the financial burden and acknowledging the sacrifices they make for our nation. Together, we can ensure that no service member misses out on the chance to spend time with those they care about most.

Stories of Gratitude

We’ve proudly helped many newly enlisted service members return to the arms of their loved ones. Here’s what past recipients and their families have shared about their experiences. Your generosity has impacted lives. Together, we can create even more stories like these:

"It means the world to me to see my family in the upcoming holidays and to surprise my sister with the gift she would want on her birthday."

"I am deeply grateful for the incredible gesture of kindness provided to me by the Ben Jackson Foundation; the ticket home award that allowed me to visit my elderly father and my young daughter, who are both my best friends in life. This act of generosity arrived almost like a beacon of light during trying times, so words cannot adequately convey my thankfulness. The Ben Jackson Ticket Home Award has not only uplifted my spirits but also reaffirmed to me that military members and their sacrifices in service are appreciated and do not go unseen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I take comfort in knowing the Ben Jackson Foundation has helped not only me but several others as well."

"Please accept my donation. My son was a Ticket Home Award recipient almost four years ago. I can attest to how very important this is to military families and want to give back!"

"I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation and to say Thank You, to your organization and all members. Your consideration and assistance to help and give me the opportunity to travel back home after being gone for two years. Grateful to have spent time and make memories with families and friends."

"I wanted to reach out to you and inform you that I have just picked up my check for $1,000 for my ticket home. I wanted to thank you personally for all of the support that this foundation gives to military members in their times of need. You and your organization have helped so many people that I know personally and I thank you so much for doing the same for me and my family as well. Thank you again."

"Thank you all so much for this opportunity. Airmen and other service members with big families have the capabilities at their disposal to visit their loved ones that are hundreds of miles away. You all are doing a wonderful service to young airmen. May God bless you!"
