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 imagine the Stewardess would alert the passengers of the presence of the family of one of our returning fallen hero's. If they were close enough to not make matters worse by making a scene, have them shut their mouth!

I would probably stand up and stare at the persons doing it..... Usually, they don't or can't stand to be singled out and identified.....so I would.

I often have to ask myself how would I feel if I was in that situation. I have lost a lot of important people to me, and I understand the feeling of loss. I would be angry if I was that family and so many people knew my business. I shouldn't have to lose someone important to receive a kind or courteous gesture, and if the only reason I'm receiving a kind or courteous gesture is because I lost someone then I don't want it. Someone gets off or on an airplane first for any reason doesnt make a difference. We are all getting on or off that airplane and it doesn't matter if it is one or two mins different. If being impatient and self centered is your general attitude let it shine brightly and stay away from me.

Probably revert to my Military Days on a Parade Square, but with a little more vigilance!

I am HM2 USN 1973-1977. I would probably say something to the effect of "that fallen soldier is one who WILLINGLY sacrificed their life to give you the right to feel the way you do and you should really be on your feet showing this family your gratitude"n. Then I would 'face' the family, 'snap to' and call 'HAND SALUTE' and retain that salute until I was sure they had retrieved the remains!

I never want to embarrass the Army by being a jerk no matter how pissed off I get over a situation. What I do and say reflects on all Military personnel. I would either give a look and or have a nice chat....But maintain my professionalism as it also reflects on the family who lost their love one(s)....I would not want to make a scene and further upset them....think about it.

I would suggest those who are ignorant enough to not understand this is a true hero and family getting together for the last time to “make way, or I will”

Probably be banned from flying on that airline cause I would stand and chew out all the passengers for their dis-respect and attitude.

In my NCO voice, "REALLY! What, exactly, are you booing? Think about that."

I would shout them down for their complete and total lack of decorum . ( I have a very loud, well projected voice too ). I'd be willing to bet some of the flight crew might even take note of the hecklers and disembark them last . I know I would , lol.
