Yeah pollen is bad here in Houston too.
Last month I switched my first class company paid for seat with soldier in uniform in coach. The flight attendents made sure I got free drinks delivered back there and several people in coach bought me drink too. I had Sky bottles lined up all the way across the tray. But hey, I’m proud to what I can to support the troops! At least I lived up to my log in name.

“Last month I switched my first class company paid for seat with soldier in uniform in coach.”

I’m flying into Las Vegas for the SHRM convention next month, and after I read this article I decided if the opportunity arose I would do the same thing you did.

Least I can do. Last time I went through an airport in uniform was January of 1981, in San Francisco.

Half dozen teenagers called me a ‘baby killer’.

Never saw a baby aboard ship...

Yes, pollen levels very high here in western PA, also, as I dab eyes with a tissue. Good thing I bought a fresh box of tissues. What a touching story. Not holding breath for MSM coverage. Note to self about rotating red clothing to Fridays...

And dblshot, what a wonderful way to help honor our soldiers. Kudos.
