I have experienced first hand the patriotism and love of Southwest employees. In November 2007, I had to say "So long" to my son; who is a soldier and was being deployed to Iraq. There is nothing I could do to prepare myself for that day and that moment when I had to kiss him goodbye. I was sobbing uncontrollably in the Islip Airport, when the SW agent approached me with a pen and paper and said "write him a note. The pilot will give it to him.

God bless America and our troops around the world.
