For what Southwest airlines has done is a true gesture of friendship and dedication to America's veterans. Unfortunately with each passing day we're losing over 1,000 WW II veterans and while thats very saddening it also reminds me personally never to forget their sacrifices. As a passenger on southwest airlines multiple times I couldn't think of a more veteran friendly airline that is so kind, devoted, and willing to be so courteous and understanding. I've personally greeted 6 groups of veterans at BWI Airport from all over this country and I can personally attest to how emotional it can be. Tears are definitely not an uncommon sight and on one Honor Flight earlier this year I just completely lost all my composure and just began crying, because it really surprises me how all these veterans really touch your heart even though you just met them. They're an outstanding and fantastic group of men and women and their sacrifices won't soon be forgotten by me or by my generation.
