How would you react if you were on a flight where a family was boo'd for being allowed off the plane first to receive their soldier's body?

I would stand remove my hat and hold it over my heart until the family deplaned.

I would stand up and salute the family and loudly start singing the Star Spangled Banner.

I would say that they have loss serving for our nation. Their family has given the highest loss for our country!

I myself would ask the steward or stewardess to explain that the family members made a huge sacrifice to make sure their son or daughter's body got home safely to be laid to rest. So please show respect to them. They made the ultimate sacrifice so you could ride in safety up in first class. Being in first class does not necessarily mean a person has class.

I would go to my safe space with my coloring book and cocoa and dream of President Hillary

I don't care for airports, 1974 while waiting for my plane at LAX to Maryland I had a teenager walk up and spit in my face. I was 17 fresh out of Basic and never been to Vietnam being stunned and not knowing what to do it was a Marine Sergeant that told about the USO. It is people like this that we defend that demand that we respect their rights. Just one step to the left and your in a new world.
