Respecting Our Traveling Heros

Courtesy of Johnny Jet 2013--Fallen soldier honored by airline passengers



The picture above depicts a fallen soldier being truly honored by not just the airline but the crew and passengers as well.  This should be expected each and every time our heroes come home.

It may remind some of you of the story from the United Flight in 2012 about a man who was tickled to be sitting in first class after saving all of his points and gave it up when he saw a soldier board the plane headed for his aisle seat in the back of the plane.  Turns out the soldier's main destination was Afghanistan and he had just kissed his family good-bye. It may seem like a small thing to switch seats with a guy, but it was a thank-you.  This sort of gratitude and respect needs to happen with much more frequency.

On this site I am going to attempt to give veterans resources for returning home and reuniting with life in the states and helping you find folks like the fellow above.  Trust me.  There are a lot of us out there with our hands out to shake yours.  God Bless.
