In 1991, at the end of Desert Storm, a 19 yr old US Army Cavalry Scout Private who had just spent 8 months at war sat out on a street at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. He sat there on his duffle bag with his Battalion around him for 4 days waiting for the buses to come and take him to the King Fahad Airport so he could go home. Unfortunately, the politicians of the day never planned for how to bring so many soldiers home after the war ended so there was a shortage of planes. Politicians are great at talking, but terrible at doing. Finally, the buses came, and took the young man to the airport. The planes waiting were from Tower Air. The owner of Tower Air had volunteered his planes and staff to bring soldiers home for the cost of fuel only. Happily, the young veteran got home just in time for Easter weekend in 1991, and spent that time emotionally healing with friends and family surrounding him. That Private was me. The Airline owner – Donald J Trump. That is why I will vote Trump. Loyalty for loyalty, respect for respect. Any questions?

Tower Air was co-founded, majority owned, and managed by Morris K. Nachtomi ...

Great story. I also recently heard that Mr. Trump gave 35,000 dollars to recently released Marine Sgt Tamorisee. He was the Marine who was held for a year while Obama sat on his ass.

I have a question. I cannot find any evidence that Donald Trump ever owned Tower Air. I also served in Desert Storm with the Big Red One.

What a contrast to Cruz. Cruz rakes in millions (that he REPORTS, and we know for certain he has been known to OMIT income on required forms) and gives less that 1% to charity. Then he beats other Christians over the head about tithing 10% and insists that others call him "The Face Of God."

And we don't know what if anything Cruz has given the last few years because he has not released his tax returns.

Tower Air was formed on August 13, 1982 by Zev Melamid, Mordechi Gill, Morris Nachtomi, and Sam Fondlier as equal shareholders.
