Unfortunately, I do not have acces to post in Omni yet...otherwise I would have been happy to post it there.
I was fired up about what happened on this flight...especially since the seats were empty, it wouldn't have cost DL anything. Furthermore, I was disappointed that the other passengers couldn't have waited 90 seconds for these two soldiers to exit the aircraft first.
When we arrived in the baggage claim area, I saw something I will never forget - the excited screams and tears of a mother hugging her son to welcome him home.
