I saw this and almost broke down when I read it.
| It all began with a chance encounter at an airport, a glance, | an offer, a quiet chat. | What's your seat number, soldier?
| It's 23-B, sir, the soldier told the businessman.
| No, son, that's my seat. Yours is in first class.
And then another passenger gave up their seat to a soldier. And then another. And then another. Again and again until every soldier on-board was sitting in first class.
First class? Yeah, I know what that means - it's the person you are and the things you do, unselfishly and without any thought at all. Our soldiers are first class. It's nice to know that there's a lot people back home who think that way, too.
