Most Americans will do what it takes to take care of our troops...
(Except for some Democrats and members of ANSWER)
Even spending a few extra hours in a airport terminal.
Hats off to these folks.
And just one more reason to hunt down and prosecute the weasels that started those fires...

We sold them all tickets knowing we would oversell the flight. Some folks might think that sounds like fraud.

I was flying that day and BWI was a mess. Delta let the soldiers board first before everyone and they boarded to cheers. As they got off the plane, everyone patted them, thanked them and they were all adorable perfect gentlemen.

I've had a bug planted in my head for a few days now - that the returning troops deserve to have some friendly faces greeting them at BWI, where they are arriving to make connecting flights to their homes, and I found this article while surfing around the net this morning, looking for info on flights into BWI with returning troops on them.
Thinking that it was newsworthy, I did a quick search to see if it was posted on FR, and there it was! Thanks for posting it, Spruce.
I also found a news release from CENTCOMM that announces an increase in the number of troops being rotated out of Iraq for R & R, beginning yesterday. The troops will begin arriving in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, and BWI airports tomorrow, November 2, and make connecting flights home from those airports.
Any locals able to get to those airports and greet these fine young men and women? They've been away from home a long time, and all they've gotten news-wise (CNN, etc.) is that American support for their mission is evaporating. It would be nice if some local FReepers, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and others would show them that the news is lying to them - and that we do support them!
