I was once on a plane where an announcement was made: “Attention all passengers. Please remain in your seats when we have reached the gate. There is a soldier on board who is returning from Afganistan and is about to miss his plane home. Again, please stay in your seats to allow this soldier to catch his flight home.” Most of the plane remained sitting and started clapping for the brave soldier.
Thank you to all brave men and women who have fought or are fighting for our safety in America. We salute you!
