SAVANNAH, Ga. — Five active-duty military members will get a free trip home for the holidays through a giveaway run by Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, the main commercial airport for travelers headed to and from Hilton Head Island.
The program, Bringing Our Heroes Home for the Holidays, will choose five people now on active duty in the military. Each winner gets one round-trip ticket at no cost, flying into or out of the airport, so they can be with relatives this season.
