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?

Had this happen a few years ago. I immediately stepped into the aisle and met the family coming forward. I took the mothers hand and softly told her that I for one was honored to share my flight with their hero and to please exit with their heads held high. I then let them pass and fell in behind them and followed them to the front of the plane where I turned and faced the 3 rows of boo'ers and loudly said that they disgust me and it was my sincere hope that they never have to endure the grief of mourning a loved one who died protecting the freedoms they take for granted everyday. I then returned to my seat. Slowly, afterwards a couple people started clapping, then a few more and more until nearly the whole plane was applauding. The only people who exited that plane with their heads hanging were the boo'ers. Had never done anything like that before but I was so abhorred that I just did what I thought needed to be done and would do it again without hesitation.

based on my training both in the military and civilian life, I would look around and if the coast is clear I would administer a quick throat check.

Shut the hell up. Talk to me if you don't like waiting an extra minute to get off the plane.

I would stand and ask is there any Veterans in the plane? Because they have brought our brother home wrapped in the flag, As for everybody booing, let me see you do better. Motherfuckers****

I doubt that this would actually happen! I have done many, many funerals and memorial event and have never experienced disrespect. I'm guessing that someone is just trying to stir up trouble!!

I think I would probably be charged with assaulting a first class passenger... that type of disrespect and hard heartedness can’t go unchallenged, from anyone.
