    I think it was during desert storm but I was about to board my plane when I saw a service man with his large duffel bag at the counter begging to get on the plane but it was full. I wasn't in a big rush to get home so I went up to the counter and I asked did I hear right that you have to get on this flight? He said yes. He only has about 3 days of leave before he has to go over seas. If he doesn't make this flight he'll miss his connection in Chicago and will lose time with his family. The ticket lady allowed me to give him my seat and put me on the next flight no charge. He thanked me again and again. I told him it was the least I could do for his service. Never did get his name nor him mine. If my brother, father, sister, etc., were in the same boat I would hope someone would help them out like I did. Ty Charlene for you helping out this family.

    OMG!!!! I am absolutely bawling right now. What a beautiful person inside and out to be so selfless to get a military daddy home to be with his wife and new baby. I am an Army mom and my son and daughter in law just had their first child, my first grandchild. I would have moved heaven and earth for my son to be there for the birth of his daughter, but, unfortunately, he couldn't make it home to them. He won't get to see her until she's 3 months old. All of both of their families are in California and they are stationed in North Carolina. Fortunately I was able to go out for the birth and her first month, but I wish my son could have been there. Bless this serviceman and for this wonderful angel for getting him home. ❤❤❤

    The military NEEDS to treat their dads better but so happy in humanity that he got a ride home. ❤️ His baby is still so little and I’m just sad for him and his wife that he can’t be home with them. Like shouldn’t he be transferred closer to home? No other job are families not prioritized as badly as the military. Our military is notorious for shuffling people around with no to little notice.

      She probably overheard him at the desk making if there was another flight or asking when the next flight would be. She said she had to be in Charleston the next day (possibly for work) so she went to the rental company stands that are inside the airport (most rentals are one way? which is why you can be in Vegas and get a car with a Texas license plate)

    With my second son who is great and fine but I had a second C-section with him and when I was in the recovery room they came in to check on me and they said you’re bleeding a lot and I said what do you do if you can’t get that to stop and they said we would have to open me back up. Luckily they gave me a pill to help stop the bleeding and that worked otherwise it would have been a nightmare I’m sure

      My son also ended up in the nick you for a couple weeks. Because he had a valve that is supposed to shut off when you’re born and his didn’t it kept wanting to redirect the blood flow to the heart from the placenta and he didn’t shut off when it was supposed to so he’s got a heart murmur even though it’s a very mild and it’s not anything to be concerned about but at the time very scary
