March 25th - National Medal of Honor Day

About the Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor was created in

1861 by President Abraham Lincoln

and is our nation’s highest and rarest

military honor.

The president bestows it in the name of Congress upon members of the United States Armed forces.

History of the Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor

The (3) variations of the Medal of Honor represent service members of the

Army, Air Force and Navy.

Members of the U.S. Marine Corps and Coast Guard receive the Navy Medal, and members of the Space Force receive the Air Force Medal.

Facts About the Medal of Honor and Those Awarded It

AA's New Livery - Flagship Valor

Today, on National Medal of Honor Day, American Airlines debuts a new livery dedicated to recipients of the Medal of Honor. Flagship Valor — an Airbus A321 aircraft with a special wrap — is a flying tribute dedicated to recipients of the Medal of Honor, the highest award for military valor in action.

AADVANTAGE PROGRAM - Happy Birthday to You!

MAY 2021 - The American Airlines AAdvantage Program is turning forty (40) years old. It was introduced in MAY 1981.

15 years later, in May 1996, I had the honor of being the Project Manager @ HDQ to create the Requirements and Implement the ELECTRONIC UPGRADE PROGRAM for Advantage Members. When Electronic Upgrades were introduced, AAdvantage STICKERS became a thing of the past. No more peeling them from booklets and pasting them on flight coupons. I was back working at DFW Airport as a CSM when Electronic Upgrade Program was released, and it was a flawless implementation of the "STICKERLESS" Program.

Bob Crandall was the President & CEO of AA for the introduction of the AAdvantage Programs and Electronic Upgrades. He was proud of the AAdvantage program. It was the first Program introduced in the airline industry. The AAdvantage Program created the best brand of customer loyalty for AA along with all of us providing the best customer service in the entire airline industry.

July 4th - Independence day

Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence was designed to justify breaking away from a government. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were designed to establish a government.

The Declaration stands on its own—it has never been amended. John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is said that John Hancock's signed his name "with a great flourish" so England's "King George can read that without spectacles!"

The Constitution has been amended (27) times. The first 10 Amendments are called the Bill of Rights. The Declaration and Bill of Rights set limitations on government; the Constitution was designed both to create and constrain a government and also to constrain it.

The Constitution & Bill of Rights

The fundamental freedoms of the American people were alluded to in the Declaration of Independence, implicit in the Constitution, and enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

The Declaration of Independence made certain promises about which liberties were fundamental and inherent, but those liberties didn’t become legally enforceable until they were enumerated in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The Constitution was designed to empower the central government to preserve the blessings of liberty for “We the People of the United States.”

9/11 Commemorative Lapel Pin

We Did It!

Retirees will receive 9/11 Commemorative lapel pins.

To all who served American Airlines on Sept. 11, thank you for your service!

The CR Smith Museum will distribute the 9/11 commemorative lapel pin to retirees! There is NO charge for the Pin, however, there is a $5.00 shipping and processing fee.

For the 20th anniversary, American Airlines joined with United Airlines to create a special lapel pin to honor the lives and legacies of our colleagues, family members, and loved ones we lost. These pins are being worn throughout the airline operation during the month of September as a reminder to both team members and customers of all that was sacrificed that day.

C. R. SMITH MUSEUM

Retirees of American Airlines and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are also able to order a commemorative 9/11 pin through November 30, 2021.

September 11, 2001

September 11th

On this day in 2001, nineteen (19) militants associated with the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four planes in the United States and attacked the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, PA after passengers defended it against the hijackers.

The PENTAGON. What you may not know is that on September 11, 1941, 60 years earlier on this same day, construction began on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

It is one of the largest office buildings in the world, and it is the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, including the ARMY, NAVY, and the AIR FORCE.
