Beerball Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Having Wine in the morning? I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I fly out of DFW every other week (matter of fact I also fly into DFW every other week). I am constantly amazed by the number of soldiers heading into/out of the airport. I've always been reluctant to walk up to one and offer my thanks--will they feel embarassed etc. Thoughts? Infrequently the flight attendant (hopefully that's the PC phrase) will offer thanks to any Armed Forces personnel on a particular flight. This is followed by a round of applause from the passengers. Nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice touch. I always thank all service personal for their service any time I see them. I've also bought them lunch, dinner or a drink on occasion.

The Dean Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 person of the week = the dean YIKES! You should only have one or two (or three) in the morning, mead. "...when they tried to hang that sign on me, I said, "take it down!"..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've always been reluctant to walk up to one and offer my thanks--will they feel embarassed etc. Thoughts? Can't speak for other services but I know Marines are a little embarassed by it. It's nice to be thanked and all but clapping and stuff like that at an airport is a little unneccesary for doing our jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Nice story. At first I was wondering why Gisele had named her son before aborting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
