While we complain about the airlines......

[Keith Lane]

There are some people in the front of the (Air)bus that still have class and honor.
This is, by all I can find a true account of a flight from D.C. to California.

Wiping a tear from my eye as I type this...

My best to all the soldiers on foreign soil who toil and risk their lives for our freedom.

That's two of us. Tailwinds, LT Landaker,

Wow....the statement about a military at war and not a nation at war was profound, and sadly true.

Wow...That is the America I want to live in...

There have been several stories like that recently.
Each airline handles it differently, but each story is very moving.

Thanks Keith. This is very refreshing to hear.

Being a Vet, there probably isn't a month that goes by where I don't get a funeral announcement: Between my old units that are now deployed, where I'm in the Association, and older folks that served in RVN with me. I can't pay my respects in the manner I would like to all, but do what I can. It's heartwarming to hear so many others feel the same.

Best,

Dave
