Thank you so much for your service. I know that it can't be easy, having to deploy overseas because an incompetent or deranged president wants a war to distract from a scandal/investigation, or to bring his approval ratings up, or simply to make money for himself and/or his campaign supporters. And I hope that you don't have to fight in another needless war again. Be safe out there.

I was deploying to Iraq in Feb 2008 and I was happy as hell to be going home for Xmas before deployment. Well someone with the gate personnel hears me and when I handed my ticket over they asked for my military ID which scared me and then proceeded to tell me I was upgraded to first class and treated me like a hero and I hadn't even deployed yet. Thank you for showing us so much love!!! You have no idea how these small moments are the biggest memories to us.

Wow, lucky them, when I came home from Iraq for R & R, in DCU's mind you, I had to beg the flight attendant if I could be moved to a window seat, had my camera all ready to go to take pictures of my hometown, she said, "I'll ask around" finally after like fifteen or twenty minutes she came back and said she found a seat but it was in a exit row, would I mind sitting there? She must have been from the west coast, they have no idea how the military works, but it turns out the seat was next to a mom and daughter, and no one else, two people, three seats, and the flight attendant had to "ask around" The reception at DFW was great, but when you feel you don't deserve it, it's hard to appreciate it, but when I got home and saw all the familiar buildings again, I had to let out a little tear, but as they say, never let them see you cry.

paddy6062 Nowhere in the bible does it say to fight anyone? the bible is full of such teachings, Deuteronomy 17:12 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 to name but 2 places the bible talks of killing non-believers . All religions are the same. British troops are told not to wear uniform in public for their safety and to not offend certain peoples. This country ( MY country) is no longer the place where we respect our armed forces but have to apologise for them. Political correctness gone mad . And religion allowed to much say, extremists allowed to say what they want and get protection while they do.

There truly are no words to convey our deepest most sincere love and respect for each and every single one of you women and men.

There is a special place in Heaven to those that were on board and reached out to them. I sent it to my son that’s deployed and he loved it.

American Airlines put me in First Class when I flew from Washington D.C. back in 1970. I never forgot their courtesy to me. In fact when I checked in the agent called down to the gate and told them to hold the flight as a marine was going to get on the flight. At the gate the agent put me in First Class. It was really nice of them. The only bad part was my seatmate was an older man in a business suit and he acted like I didn't belong there and throughout the flight was surly both to me and the flight attendant. I was overwhelmed by their kindness. During the flight to O'Hare both the pilot and the copilot came back to shake my hand and wish me a nice flight. USMC1969-1971
