Bottle-cap collection benefits veterans


by Jessie Gable

Former Army paratrooper Jon Larson is setting up a citywide network to collect bottlecaps and pull tabs for a good cause.

As part of the Miller High Life “Give a veteran a piece of the High Life” campaign, Larson, 34, has been collecting beer bottle caps for the past month.

Miller High Life has agreed to donate 10 cents for every specially designated cap or tab, up to $1 million. The money will help soldiers who are stranded when they return on leave and cannot afford to do fun things with their families, according to the Miller Coors website.
