Employees from both companies' worldwide offices collected over 1,000
blankets which were recently transported by a National Airlines DC-8 cargo
plane to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The blankets were then distributed
by National Air Cargo employees and officials from the Afghanistan Ministry
of Labor and Social Affairs, which oversees the orphanages, to the children
of the two largest orphanages in the city that care for boys and girls aged 2
- 18 years old and are home to more than 600 children. Most of the children
are separated from their families due to the ongoing conflict.

The idea for "Operation Blanket Delivery" came from Dale Deacon, National
Air Cargo, Middle East sales manager, after he toured a number of orphanages
in the Kabul area and witnessed first-hand the difficult conditions the
children were enduring. Deacon, who has worked in Afghanistan since 2002,
approached National Air Cargo and National Airlines CEO, Preston Murray, with
the idea of supplying blankets to the children and with the full support of
the humanitarian idea, Murray challenged the employees to participate in the
collection and donation of blankets. This challenge has been embraced by the
staff of both companies and in just over a month 1,000 blankets were
collected.

"I didn't give it a second thought to approve this type of a program and
immediately sent a letter to all of our employees asking them to do as much
as possible to assist in this compassionate effort," said Murray. "I am so
proud of the hundreds of employees who helped to collect or donate the
blankets; in addition to our responsibilities to support our military men and
women in Afghanistan we also have a humanitarian responsibility that we take
very seriously."

"First of all I would like to welcome the team from National Air Cargo
and thank the families from all around the world who helped make the donation
of blankets to the Afghan Orphans," said Ghulam Ali Zainal who accepted the
blanket donation as the President of the Department of Orphanages, Ministry
of Labor and Social Affairs of Afghanistan. "We thank you all from the bottom
of our hearts."

"When I first saw the conditions of the children in a tour of an
orphanage in Kabul I knew there was something we could do as a company to
help these children," Deacon said. "This humanitarian gesture is testament to
the dedicated workers at National Air Cargo who are stationed across the
globe and who put themselves in harms way every day to support our troops."

According to Murray due to the great success of the program and the many
children it will help keep warm during the long Afghanistan winter the
blanket program will be continued.
