No, it was on our local FOX station - a package news story from another city.

The flight attendant was interviewed. She had photos taken with the soldiers.

My wife and daughter were returning from a family reunion. I was waiting at DFW Airport and saw something that We all should do when going to an airport nowadays. Alas I was high fived but next trip I will be prepared.

As I waited for the "girls" I noticed many GIs waiting in the baggage claim area. Then I noticed a couple of older gents, veterans no doubt. They were walking up and down the waiting area passing out candy to the troops.

Next time you go to an airport, bus or train station stop by the store and pick up something for the troops. The deserve it and the gesture itself is worth more than a small snicker!

BTW My daughter observed that the GIs, in Desert fatigues, had to take off their boots for inspection!!!! Go Figger....
