I've taken the point of appending ANGEL FLIGHT to their callsign as simply alerting you so that you could possibly assist when they might not even realise there is a choice. For example if under your control and you have to make a choice between 2 Aircraft and give one priority you're likely to do this based only on the info you have, knowing that one is an Angel Flight would mean you could give them the priority right? I honestly don't see how using this hurts anyone at all and can only see it giving the opportunity to try and assist someone doing a service to these people in need.
