Soldier's airport luggage fees protested in Springfield, MO

Those rolling in to Springfield-Branson National Airport Sunday afternoon got an unusual welcome.
Two-dozen protesters lined Airport Boulevard, calling attention to what they say is an injustice for our troops.
“I think in a time of war, people need to think about what they are doing,” said Marte Becker, who organized the demonstration.
Becker says two weeks ago her son, Anthony, was flying Delta Airlines out of Springfield on his way to the war in Afghanistan. Delta charged him $175.00 for his luggage.
