I am finishing an article I wrote about my experiences during this journey. I wish to send it to Southwest once complete and see about posting a link for others to read it if they come to this blog. Without stealing anything from myself, all I can say is that this was a pilgrimage which turned some major things around in my life. Thankfully, I will never be the same.
I have also been trying to reach Jackie Thompson so I can personally thank her for doing a superb job at both ends of our flights. I mentioned her in the story, but I need to get her approval before I send it out with her name in it...
Southwest Airlines with the help of other sponsors and selfless people brought together an amazing opportunity to set things right for so many veterans. I know that many are experiencing an improved quality of life because of their efforts. Many have been released from a personal prison of the past and there really are no accurate words to explain how important that is. Thank you. Thank you very much.
