CPO Jon Campbell 27663 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Troop Greeters at BIA were featured in the film "The Way We Get By." They volunteered to meet every military transport plane departing and arriving the US through Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine. Over the years they greeted tens of thousands of troops and provided them with cell phones to call home, a warm handshake, and genuine thank you and welcome home or good luck departing. Chief Knight passed away on Christmas day at the age of 91. 2013-12-26T19:19:55-05:00 CPO Jon Campbell 27663

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sad.  I met them on the way through in January 2005.  They passed out cell phones to all that needed them and even former President Clinton was one of the greeters (his plane had troubles and stayed there for a couple hours with us).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Very sad!  I was lucky enough to meet him in December 2011.  Shared a few of his personal challenge coins with me and wished me well!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Thanks for sharing this news.  Never had the pleasure of meeting him myself.  Sounds like he was a true patriot.  May he rest in peace.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I probably did. I flew through there four times during my two deployments. My condolences to his family.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I went thru there twice and yes as far as I can remember I did meet him. That's sad.
