RIP.
it was almost 10 years before he missed a single flight, driving to and from the airport as many as eight times a day.
Amazing dedication.
Every time I made the outbound flight, we'd come through the airport in the wee hours of the morning. They'd be there to hand out a small desert camouflaged bag with hygiene essentials, a hug, a handshake, and word or two of encouragement.
RIP Bill Knight. This country could use more like you for your service, dedication, enthusiasm, patriotism and life as and American citizen.
Amen.
Thank you for honoring Mr Knight, Appy.

Active Duty/Retiree ping.
*HUG*
I thought you might have, Cyber Son,
and I thought you would like to know of his passing.
He will be missed.
I watched this the other day, the story of Marcus Luttrel
