Reuniting Military Families

The Ben Jackson Foundation recognizes the sacrifice that newly enlisted members of the military have chosen to make and provides financial assistance to help them visit home from their first permanent duty station.

Flights and other travel expenses make up a substantial portion of what younger enlisted personnel earn in a month. We want to make sure that new military members are able to take a trip home to see family and friends, especially when they are first starting out and a long way from home.Those enlisted in any branch of the US Military are eligible to receive a Ticket Home Award from the Ben Jackson Foundation. This is our commitment to support them. Once they get to their first permanent duty station and then return home, they are eligible to receive payment for the Ticket Home Award.
