1. google shows me this is the Haiti Embassy, located in NY, AA says fake

American Airlines says this is fake, they are NOT doing this. Please ask mods to lock.

I just got off the phone from AA and they said they are not doing this. Rather than tying up the Haiti Embassy phones, please ask this to be deleted and pass on this info.

Would have been nice, but not true

2. Yeah, I just did some more checking and apparently it's false.

Replaced the OP with a link about it.
Thanks.

3. Having gone through a lot searching, working, post katrina,

if it looks that good, it isn't. And I always check and double check.

It is difficult and thanks for passing on info, google shows me a lot of people passing this one around.

4. When I saw it in the Boston Globe, I figured it was legit

I was going to delete the thread, but decided it would be better to leave it with the new link.
