Help the families of injured soldiers
Last updated : 30 January 2010 By Feature by R Daniell
If you are thinking of booking your summer holiday soon, then please read this and consider booking through First Choice holidays. Regardless of whether anyone agrees with the cause into which our service personnel are sent, they deserve our support.
The people of Coventry have never failed to support our armed services and have a proud history dating back to the turn of the 20th century, through the Great War and continuing into the Second World War in which the City of Coventry found itself in the front line.
The details are shown below, but very simply for every twenty holidays booked through First Choice quoting reference 'heroes', a holiday, including flights, accommodation and transfers will be donated to a bereaved family or to a family of an injured serviceman or woman. Please note that this is a First Choice initiative supported by The Sun
This is a genuine offer, brought to our attention by the First Choice press office. At this time of year thousands of holidays are being booked, if people know that by simply quoting the reference 'heroes' they can make a big difference to a service family, at no cost whatsoever to themselves, then surely they'll be pleased to do this. So please do spread the word....
'Holidays For Heroes
