What would you do, if a passenger in first class "boo'd" a Gold Star family for being allowed to leave the aircraft first to receive their fallen son/daughter in the military?

I would be Okay with this. Being a former military member I would understand, and if the rest of the passenger's didn't like it I would say to them, what if this was one of your loved ones, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ?

There would be nothing to say. You cannot educate or teach respect or honor. I would just sit and pray for our nation and our future. There are 3 service banners......The blue for in service---the silver for wounded---and the gold for our honored dead.

This sounds like something the US would do, just like my serving two years for this country then being told that it didn't matter. I could no longer be surprised by any hate crimes this country would produce twords another even twords someone who served.

I would stand up and salute them and then slowly very slowly make my way off the plane.

There would be two choices in my book. One, take the hardest sitcase or carry on I had and smack the heads real hard of every person booing that "Gold Star" family. Two would be more becoming of the better man and telling that plane of losers, to be thankful it wasn't their child being off loaded in a coffin. I would continue saying "That soldier being off loaded died defending you and this country, not at your request. But at their willingness to protect your right to freedom and to voice your like/dislike of the military. You sit there booing a family in grief ans mourning their child's death. May all of you be so proud of yourselfs the rest of your lives for your stupid act today. I would hope your children would grow up better than you, but I doubt it will happen, due to the way you teach them like this." As a veteran myself, I would ask the grieving family if I could stand in honor of saluting their son.

With utmost respect. The family of the soldier deserves respect and honor. I would stand in respect of the fallen soldier. I am former military, grew up in the military, had a son serve as well as my ex husband.

So as not to increase the Gold Star families stress, I would simply stand and render hand salute as they got off. After they left the plane I would be sure someone never ever ever forgot that they had fucked up by the numbers. There’d be plenty of time for them to reconsider their actions. Bones can take a good while to heal.
