Pride

One of the things that make me the most proud of being an American and an employee of American Airlines is the our passengers and our staff treat our men and women who serve our country. I was fortunate enough to be upgraded as a non-rev passenger and was honored to sit with six soldiers. On revenue passenger even offered to give up his first class seat in order to upgrade the soldiers. Fortunately there were plenty of seats for everyone. The round of applause for these men when the Captain thanked them for their service was loud and long and made us all very proud to safe and free in the U.S.A.

The best news of all is that I received news that Sean would soon be home from Iraq. A true blessing.
