Default A "Lesson" in "Getting It"

I was at LAX yesterday and just have to talk about an Airport "Experience".......When walking to my Gate, I noticed that another Gate was decorated with a Red Carpet and Balloons attached to the Walkways.........Humm!! what's going on here I thought....Must be some Important People coming in.....A little while later an announcement was made that there were two Flight's coming in that were full of Family's that had lost a Loved one in the Mid-East Wars.....American Airlines had put together The "Snowball Express" and flew these Family's in for a Disney Vacation Free of Charge.........they were asking for everyone in the Terminal to congregate at the Gate and line the Concourse all the way back to the Exit......When the Planes arrived they were given a Water Cannon salute and as the Family's exited the Plane's and walked thru the Terminal the L.A. Police Department 12 pc Band and Singers were giving their rendition of "Proud to be an American" and "Everyone" in the Terminal stopped and "Clapped" as the Family's walked past.......this went on for about a 1/2 hour....Not one person stopped Clapping and there wasn't a Dry eye in the Terminal.........Hat's Off to American Airlines












Wheather or not you agree with the War is not the Point...........It was pretty "Cool" to show Support for the Family's that gave the "Ultimate" sacrifice to "Our" Country.............
