Americans, On Occassion, ROCK
This is a great story.
Fourteen Marines on their way home from serving in Afghanistan
were upgraded to first class on their flight from Chicago to San Diego.
The Marines learned that American Airlines - which has a policy to
upgrade servicemen and women in uniform whenever possible - had six
empty seats in first class for the group. That gesture was followed by
seven first-class passengers who jumped out of their seats for the other
Marines so they could sit together.
And it gets even better.
"There must have been 15 Chicago firemen and an equal number of Chicago
police and they formed a corridor for the Marines when they got off the
airplane," he said.
Oh, yes. Good news such as this makes the heart ache a bit less.
