Dakendo completed 43 hours of volunteer service with the Air Force Sergeants Association before taking a Miles for Military flight from Northwest Florida to Southwest Florida to reconnect with family. During his visit, he shared lunch with his nephew at school, visited an old mentor and caught up with loved ones and former co-workers he hadn’t seen in almost a year. The experience also inspired Dakendo to ask about becoming a Miles for Military Ambassador to help more service members find their way home.

“Thank you for this amazing opportunity! Not only was I able to visit an old mentor, but I was also blessed with the opportunity to have lunch with my nephew at his school.”
