A 10-year Army veteran, Craig will serve as the campaign’s spokesperson. Craig says, “I know that empty feeling in your gut when you want to travel from your base home for the holidays but just don’t have the money to do it.

Our nation’s military does a wonderful job getting them back to their bases, but it’s not home.” The initiative offers $300 travel vouchers per family and pre-paid debit cards of $100 for each service member traveling by car. Jack Daniels has committed to donate more than $100,000 to the campaign, and you can pitch in at JDOperationRideHome.com.
