American Airlines is treating the children of fallen U.S. soldiers to a VIP trip to Disneyland In Anaheim, Ca.

Snowball Express was started in 2006 to honor the children of fallen military heroes.

This year, Snowball Express departed Monday, with hundreds of metro Detroit children and their surviving parent aboard, stopping to pick up thousands more kids across the country, and taking them to a 4-day stay to Disneyland.
