View Full Version : Passengers Refuse to Give Up Seats for the Family of a Soldier Who Gave His Life



Tinman

His name was Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Wilson – although I did not know it when his life brushed mine on March 25 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Lance Cpl. Wilson was not there in the terminal that afternoon; at age 24 and newly married, he had been killed in Afghanistan on March 22 by a roadside bomb. A coincidence of overbooked flights led our lives to intersect for perhaps an hour, one I will never forget.

I did not meet his family that day at the airport, either, although we were there together that evening at the gate, among the crowd hoping to board the oversold flight. I did not know that I had a boarding pass and they did not. I did not know they were trying to get home to hold his funeral, having journeyed to Dover, Del., to meet his casket upon its arrival from Afghanistan.

I also did not know that they already had been stuck for most of the day in another airport because of other oversold flights. But I did not need to know this to realize what they were going through as the event unfolded and to understand the larger cause for it. No matter how we as a nation have relearned the lesson forgotten during Vietnam – that our military men and women and their families deserve all the support we can give them – despite our nation’s fighting two wars in this decade, it is all too easy for most of us to live our lives without having the very great human cost of those wars ever intrude.

But it did intrude heartbreakingly that day at the airport gate. It began simply enough, with the usual call for volunteers: Anyone willing to take a later flight would receive a $500 flight voucher. Then came the announcement none of us was prepared to hear. There was, the airline representative said, a family on their way home from meeting their son’s body as it returned from Afghanistan, and they needed seats on the flight. And there they were, standing beside her, looking at us, waiting to see what we would decide. It wasn’t a hard decision for me; my plans were easily adjusted. I volunteered, as did two women whom I later learned sacrificed important personal plans.

But we three were not enough: Six were needed. So we stood there watching the family – dignified and mute, weighed with grief and fatigue – as the airline representative repeatedly called for assistance for this dead soldier’s family. No one else stepped forward. The calls for volunteers may have lasted only 20 or 30 minutes, but it seemed hours. It was almost unbearable to watch, yet to look away was to see the more than 100 other witnesses to this tragedy who were not moved to help. Then it did become unbearable when, in a voice laced with desperation and tears, the airline representative pleaded, “This young man gave his life for our country, can’t any of you give your seats so his family can get home?” Those words hung in the air. Finally, enough volunteers stepped forward.

I had trouble sleeping that night; I could not get out of my mind the image of the family or the voice pleading for them.When I met my fellow volunteers the next morning at the airport, I found I was not alone. One had gone home and cried, and another had awakened at 3 a.m.; all of us were angry and ashamed that our fellow passengers had not rushed to aid this soldier’s family and consequently had forced them to be on public display in their grief. We worried that this indifference to their son’s sacrifice added to their sorrow.

It turned out my destination was his hometown, so I was able to learn his name and more. I learned he had been a talented graffiti artist and had married his sweetheart, Hannah, the day before he deployed to Afghanistan. They planned a big wedding with family and friends for after he returned home. I learned how proud he was to become a Marine in January 2009. I learned that he and his fellow Marines liked to give the candy they received from home to Afghan children. In sum, I learned that he was the kind of honorable, patriotic young person we want defending our country and how great our loss is that he had to give his life in doing so.

I posted a message to his family on the online condolence book. I told them I was sorry for what they went through in trying to see their son’s body home, but because of it, many more people were going to have heard of Justin and his dedication to his country: I was going to tell everyone I knew about what I had witnessed and tell them his name. And I have.

I thought that was enough, until I received a thank-you note from Lance Cpl. Wilson’s father-in-law.It was a completely humbling experience; he wrote that he was glad I had been able to learn about Justin, and he wanted me to know that Justin “served knowing the risks, but felt it was his obligation and privilege to serve his country.” At that moment, I realized that in this day of an all-volunteer military and a distant war that touches so few of our lives directly, more people should hear the story of Lance Cpl. Wilson and his family.

I’ve thought a lot about what happened that day in the airport, and I choose to believe my fellow passengers were not unfeeling in the face of a soldier’s death and a family’s tragedy. They were just caught off guard – they were totally unprepared to confront the fierce consequences of the war in Afghanistan on their way to Palm Beach on a sunny afternoon.And I believe it was for this reason that people did not rush to the podium to volunteer their seats. It was not that they did not want to, and it was not that they did not think it was the right thing to do. Rather, it was because they were busy trying to assimilate this unexpected confrontation with the irrevocable cost of war and to figure out how to fit doing the right thing into their plans – to fit it into their lives not previously touched by this war. In the end, enough of us figured out how to do the right thing, and it turned out as well as such a painful situation could.

But still I wonder: Barring some momentous personal event that necessitated a seat on that flight, how could any of us even have hesitated? How could we have stopped to weigh any inconvenience to our plans against the sacrifice Lance Cpl. Wilson and his family had made for our country? In such circumstances, it is not a question of recognizing the right thing to do; we should know it is the only thing to do.

From what I have learned of him, in his short life, Lance Cpl. Wilson created a legacy of courage and patriotism that will not be forgotten by those who knew him. I hope there’s a greater legacy as well. I hope through this account of his family’s struggle to see him home, if ever again the war intrudes unbidden on my life or yours, we will know what we must do, and in their honor, and for all those who serve and sacrifice, we will do it.

I always give up my seat for the free voucher, one time I got the voucher and they said there was actually enough room and I could keep the voucher. Made like $350-400 for doing nothing.

Now about the story it is only sad, because people still believe in a country that once was.

Noble or not noble doesn't matter. There's no need to be dramatic about what happened with the death of the soldier, that's really irrelevant.

What is relevant is that airlines always overbook flights and the customers suffer.

Alternatively this is an airline engaging in fraud. They are selling a product that they have no intention of providing when they overbook flights. Sadly it is quite legal.

*his family should just be thankful it's not the other way around. They can go to the airport and not have to worry as much about being zapped by a predator drone for no reason. When they get back to their huge house with all the amenities of modern life they won't have to worry it's been destroyed by a JDAM. Oh the little inconveniences we all have to bear. :oo-->

Most of the kids getting into the military have no clue what is running this world. In like manner, most children going to a playground have no clue what perverts watch them for a moment when they are alone and can be taken.

I don't fault the children for their innocence.

The young and often foolish soldiers usually have a higher respect for the principles of the old America. I don't fault them for their sincerety either.

I do find it loathesome how callous the responses here have been. Sure the airlines are being structured for survival and profit. Thaty is their job. Don't like it? Don't fly. I can guarantee you that the flight attendent and gate personal have no bearing on airline policies. They are people with hurts and joys. They get hungry and sick like everyone else.

Armchair warriors can easily show how brave they are over the internet. You just miss the reality that living souls are in between your brave internet gunfire and the evil corporation targets you shoot.

This guy's family cared so much, someone should have known. In the end we are responsible(for ourselves), even if we've been horn-swoggled.

*and I have honorable discharges from 2 branches. One of them active Marine Corps. I know a little bit about it.

Feel sorry for me yet? Yeah, I didn't think so. Only difference between me and that guy is he stepped on an IED.

**I take that back, there is another difference, my family wouldn't have been able to afford to fly to Dover to meet my body bag on the way back into the USA.

I am amazed at the range of responses to this story - in a good way. When we have a variety of views an opinions is when GSUS really shines.

I read it as propaganda, but I still have a heart, and feel for anyone who loses a family member, regardless on which side of the war they fought. I am with Spectrism about these young men being innocent and deceived into fighting a war which has taken me, a grown woman, the better part of a decade to realize doesn't make sense.

The concept of needing to fly several family members to meet a dead body baffles me. It is said that seeing the dead body is part of the grieving process, but I don't understand it and never have.

9th June 2010, 06:05 AM
Interesting thread on many levels. I agree with Spectrism and K-os that we should be showing some compasion for these people if the story is true. I have a nephew in Afghanistan who is a great kid, but who has been brainwashed by a lifetime of television and video games.

If he dies I will surely grieve, not just for my sister but because he may yet wake up. In his heart I know he is a good kid. It's not his fault he is brainwashed.

Flying the family across the country was a little overboard. I'd trust that they deliver it to my home town. As for seeing the body, I think it proves the reality of the situation. Just imagine someone calling you one day and saying that your son was killed. You never saw him again. A little tiny part of you would wonder if maybe he is still out there somewhere and not really dead.

When I worked at the FUNeral home, I had to pick up victims of a helicopter crash. (it crashed into the forest, started a forest fire) I had 4 charred bodies on my hands that I had to figure out how to identify. Once we got things straightened out, we found out that 2 of the victims were from Korea. The appropriate contacts were made and the father of one of the victims flew out to see his son. We took him to the back room and unzipped the body bag. He started crying and hugging this charred corpse. I didn't understand the hugging. There was no recognizable feature left. But then again, it wasn't my son. Who knows, I might do the same. (hope I never have to find out)

Monkey gangs get together to kill monkeys from other tribes (as example), it is not 'the evil money of the moneychangers, the money that makes all of their power possible'.

So we get a corporation that took a calculated risk it was better to overbook for profit and screw the odd family of hero. But as so often happens, compliant media ensure a third party must take both the blame, guilt and damages.

Cedarchopper you keep escalating in attacks on other members. it is incorrect to say other members here are hypocritical liar's as while labelling others as criminals, I saw no statements stating we here are not criminals.

It was also not stated that the families were criminal, but the family of a criminal.

Since you are making false accusations and attacking members here for a good cause, the defense of heros, I will not make a complaint. ;D

Mr. Airline Representative, can't you figure something out? You're the guys that sold the frigging tickets and are running the planes. Maybe tell the other passengers that if they give up their seats, they get the next flight free, and $500 each? If no one takes it, then $1000. You made the problem, you should be the ones to fix it.

It is my right to offer compassion, it is not someone else's right to demand that I give it. Nothing is so sancitmonious as someone who self-righteously demands compassion. There is physical slavery, economic slavery and to top it off, we got folks who now want to empower emotional slavery.

I fault them the moment they either extinguish an innocent life or witness the extinguishing of an innocent life.

The young and often foolish soldiers usually have a higher respect for the principles of the old America. I don't fault them for their sincerety either.


Their "higher respect" is obedience to "authority." If they respected the "principles of the old America," they'd say, "what in Hell are we doing here, this isn't Constitutional, I'm not doing this no more?!"

Are you saying American soldiers are that stupid, that they can't recognize that an Afghani or Iraqi child of 8 couldn't possibly have had anything to do with 9/11, and that killing him, regardless of any excuse of "collateral damage," is nothing but clear and inexcusable murder?

It is your DUTY to educate him in whatever way possible, to the point of risking your relationship with him.




If he dies I will surely grieve, not just for my sister but because he may yet wake up. In his heart I know he is a good kid. It's not his fault he is brainwashed.


In part, it's your fault. You "know." You allow him to continue to be ignorant or in denial.

Tell him. Tell him NOW. Send him a care package, along with a letter of reality.

I am with Spectrism about these young men being innocent and deceived into fighting a war which has taken me, a grown woman, the better part of a decade to realize doesn't make sense.


It took you "the better part of a decade" to realize that "thou shalt not murder" is not just God's law, but a good idea in every way?


Yep. You know, it's not like there are only two speeds here on planet Earth: murderous rampage and saint. I think "thou shalt not kill" is a very good idea. I did however believe that "we" were fighting for something in the middle east. I thought "we" had to engage them over there so they didn't bring a war here. I wasn't one of the "kill everyone and turn everything into a parking lot" people, but I was not against the war either. I was misinformed, and I can admit it.



Are you saying American soldiers are that stupid, that they can't recognize that an Afghani or Iraqi child of 8 couldn't possibly have had anything to do with 9/11, and that killing him, regardless of any excuse of "collateral damage," is nothing but clear and inexcusable murder?


I don't think that they are stupid. I think they are brainwashed and bribed. I think there are very, very few of them that will be able to lead normal, healthy lives after serving time in the middle east.

They have a right to greive, but they don't have a right for force me to suffer for their grief; this is just another symptom of our entitlement-minded society.

It is my right to offer compassion, it is not someone else's right to demand that I give it. Nothing is so sancitmonious as someone who self-righteously demands compassion. There is physical slavery, economic slavery and to top it off, we got folks who now want to empower emotional slavery.

"The Islamic Bloc" is a threat to America, HOW?

In 1947, how many Islamic countries were at war with America? In 1947, how many Islamic countries were not friendly towards America?

Oil embargoes? Irrelevant...if you ditch "Israel." The Arabs retaliated against America's aggression with the only tool they had.

Islamic immigrants? Well, guess who's fault that is? Who pushes open immigration to America the most? It ain't Muslims. It ain't WASPs.

"ISRAEL" is the first problem. Anglo-American imperialism, the second. The infamous British Petroleum is the number one reason the Iranians hate "the West."

Ditch "Israel," make an honest apology, withdraw all occupation forces, and that would go incredibly far at getting the Muslims to calm down.

Sometimes, someone has already expressed what you are thinking better than you can. At times like this, I quote.

I feel for the guy and his family, but stop glorifying these 'heroes'. At best he was a well-meaning individual misguided by the propaganda machine, at worst, he was a mercenary. I cannot see into his heart, so I cannot judge which, however, I know this; I will not sacrifice one single life to a military machine by glorifying him.

If you suspect, as I do, that the scenario would have gone drastically different sans a military death then you must question what makes the death of this young man somehow more worthy of your attention than the death of any other young man in the line of duty (not military duty but engaged in profession).

Look at the origins of the Balkans, The Muslims and Christians there are from the same Slavic stock.Yet they slaughter one another as they are of a different race.

Being led to take sides in this matter is part of the plan to "divide and conquer".

There are no winners in this debate - all lose.

Because it avoids the "real" question: why are American lives and property being expended in Asia?

The last time I read the foundation documents, governments were instituted among men to :
(a) secure rights, and
(b) govern those who consent.

Furthermore, in pursuit of securing the rights of injured Americans, the Congress was authorized to declare war.

Since 1945, Congress has not exercised that power.
Can you point to the specific instances, since 1945, that a foreign power deliberately attacked Americans and their property, to instigate our military retaliation?
Pursuant to the U.S. Constitution?

That's the question that no one in D.C. can answer, or wants to answer.

One possible explanation, offered by John Nelson (a fringe paralegal researcher), is that the U.S. government went bankrupt, in 1933, was re-organized to prosecute the bankruptcy, and ceased to operate under the original charter.

In other words, the U.S. A. was transformed into the United Socialist States of America, under the benevolent guidance of the usurer / collectivist alliance. That may explain why nothing makes sense, anymore.

If you have a better explanation, that's fine.

But ultimately, the reason for government is to cooperate in the defense of property rights.

And war ultimately boils down to piracy or the defense against piracy.
To figure out the true nature of the parties, determine who kept the property of the loser.

("property rights" under the U.S. Con means private property rights. Under collectivism, those rights are the property of the collective State.)

I thought we were talking about Afghanistan & the middle east in general?

Do you really think we wouldn't pilfer Iran's crude if given (or when) we take the opportunity?


Sure they would, that's a given. But they won't start a N-war over oil. Hell they won't start a N-war over oil either. I have a feeling that someone in Iran wants a bigger cut of the drug money.

But the drug trade brings in more money for the elite than oil ever dreamed of.

Iran is a key chess piece being fought over by two players who are working for the same owner.

We are the paying spectators of the tournament, this much is obvious.

I respect our soldiers (and their parents) as much I respect anyone I would meet on the street.

People grieve everyday, I do my part to help, but as far as what I have left to give depends much on as much as what I have time during the day.

To sit down & right a story about this situation is only to inflame as seen in this thread.

Parents believing that their son was a "hero" and who "fought for our 'freedom'" indeed is a Lie. A BIG one.

Expecting people to give up their seats for the family of such a "hero" is indeed reinforcing the Lie.

A person has to be truly miserable to protest funerals. In early times here in this country this Phelps character would have been strung-up. The fact that he continues to insult the sanctity of funerals without anyone killing him shows that the country itself has lost its vitality. America has become too civilized, or more accurately, the white part of the country has become too civilized, because you notice Phelps only protests white funerals. How far do you think he would get showing his demented mug and insulting the funeral of a Mexican or a Black? Rome fell because it was too civilized, and the same is happening here.

Stupid indeed but he doesn't limit him and his followers to only protesting the deaths of soldiers. It was only a couple years back that he showed a couple miles from my house to protest the German Consulate office because god hates Germany too.

I have no minister but Jesus Christ, and definitely not a Pentecostal one.

As for St. Adolphus of Braunau, he was a philosopher who explained modern racial reality in a manner most people can understand. Most people today, however, don't like the answers. Most often because they themselves are mamzers, or they are "unequally yoked" to another species.

I won't speak for Quantum but I believe race mixing is lunacy because it is completely against nature.
If nature wanted us to dilute our species and sub-species then there wouldn't be so many diverse kinds of species on this planet. There would be one bird, one bear, one dog, one cat, ect.
Instead in nature we find an incredibly wide range of different species. For example in just the Trochilidae (Hummingbird family) we find that there are over 330 different species of hummingbirds. Now keep in mind those hummingbirds are just like us in that the have the ability and means to reproduce with each other but they don't. Because again, if they did and if nature wanted them to then there wouldn't be so many different species.
Each species is also in competition with each other for resources so looking at it from another perspective if one is race mixing they are essentially "switching sides". They are saying that they no longer want their genetic line to be a part of their race.

Some of you should also keep in mind that there are many race mixers on these boards. Either they themselves or someone in their family. This means that they will probably never be able to comprehend the above. It takes a very strong (and rare) person to be able to face reality after that happens and so most of these types will always lash out against anyone who dares to speak out about something that affects them so personally.
Basically, they or their family made a huge irreversible mistake and they know it. If you remind them about this mistake or even call it a mistake in the first place one can expect their hatred and ignorance to rear its ugly head.

One last thing, anyone interested in why "modern" anthropology is so corrupt and flat out wrong can simply look to the "father" of modern anthropology, Frank Boas.

By the way, he just so happens to be Jewish. :oo-->

Some people also fuck goats.

"Normally" White people don't race mix just like normally people don't fuck goats. This is especially true within males of our race. It is only when there is a huge shortage of available White women that a White man will then mix his genes otherwise it is highly unlikely and most racially mixed couples involve a White female, not male.

Obviously there are exceptions but like I said some people also fuck goats, does that make it right, or even okay?

So your own attraction for non Whites some how makes race mixing natural? Forgive me but I am confused.

I have been attracted to non Whites in the past but I never considered for a second reproducing with them (or even having sex for that matter).

Do my personal experiences with attraction trump yours? Or should we instead look at the bigger picture to determine what is natural and unnatural?

Nature designed us, or rather random mutation and natural selection designed us, differently because our early environments were different, but natural selection also provides man with intelligence to change his environment to the point where Africans can live in Iceland and Nords can live in the tropics. Nature is neutral on the question. Nature doesn't care if Whites and Blacks mix. All nature "cares about" is reproductive success. It is human culture that cares about preserving the beauty of White women for instance. Nature doesn't consciously care about a thing. It is human culture that cares about living in South African style hell-civilization, which is an argument against importing Blacks, for instance, to live amongst Whites. But nature doesn't give a damn.

Then why are there still different races after millions of years? Surely nature doesn't need that long to mix us all up? If it truly was only human culture that cared about preserving the species then wouldn't there only be only a tiny handful of different species? Wouldn't there only be a tiny handful of different birds? How about fish? Wouldn't there only be a few different kind of fish it if was natures way to mix?

Sorry but you are just not correct and nature itself shows us that.

Many young people are attracted to the exotic. TV doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. I think there is an implanted psychological tendency with certain White women who date Black men, but not so much with Asian females and White men, and many other combinations. It is a cop out to blame it all on televitz, as if an easy going Mexican American guy who is funny and good looking can't be naturally attractive to a White American girl.
