Have a round trip flight. Flight to Colorado boarding pass was mark for Special Assistance. 

Checked in to go home today. Pulled up boarding pass, but was not marked for Special Assistance. Been on hold for over an hour last night and no one answered. Been on hold for  an hour and 50 minutes. Still saying "someone will be with you as soon as possible"

Any suggestions? Flight suppose to leave in 8 hours.

When you check in at the gate tell them that you need special assistance.  They will give you a boarding pass noting just that.
