When going home for my Dad's funeral 6 1/2 years ago I was honored to sit next to one of the Tuskegee Airman. I believe there were 3 of these Heroes on the flight. The gentleman I sat next to was so very humble and told me stories of the other two Heroes on the plane, he rather played down his part. The were on their way to Washington to receive the Congressional Metal of Honor. The sad thing was that the metal that was presented that day would go to the Smithsonian if they wanted a metal of their own THEY HAD TO BUY IT THEMSELVES! This country has hit the skids for sure. When we put the Illuminati bastards on a pedestal. Boycott united airlines! |

Kirk User ID: 49863729 United States 12/08/2013 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: 90 Year Old Pearl Harbor Vet And Hero Bumped From Flight To Anniversary Ceremony Over Other Passengers UA bumped 2 people from a flight to Hawaii. A 90 year old war hero (Shatz) going to a WWII reunion and a guy in a wheelchair. Layovers are a PITA but a 90 year old? All the people they could have bumped but they shit on a 90 year old. UA will never get a dime in business from me. ---------------------------- Posted this on UA Facebook page. Government is a body largely ungoverned. |

They are so much more laid back...and they TRY to find GOOD things to acknowledge or comfort people... Another time I flew (sadly another funeral for my gf) the attendants gave me a bottle of wine for the road to cheer me up as best they could. It's the one airline I always recommend. |

I went to Hawaii (and the USS Arizona memorial) in 1994 on Northwest Airlines. They seemed good (now merged with Delta). I would, without hesitation, give up my seat to any WWII vet wanting to go to a memorial ceremony! |
