STOCKTON — The father of a soldier who was killed last weekend in Afghanistan was disappointed and hurt after airline passengers booed him and his family as they flew to meet his son’s remains.

First-Class Cabin Boos a Gold Star Family
A few privileged elites couldn’t wait two minutes for a grieving military family to pass through their cabin?
A Stockton, California, man and his family were exiting a flight on their way to retrieve their son’s body after he was killed in Afghanistan last Saturday. In a shameful example of entitlement and self-absorption, passengers in first class booed the family as they passed through the pricey cabin.
Why? Because the pampered few might miss their next flight if the grieving family de-planed first — something the crew requested.
Sgt. John Perry, 30, died at Bagram Airfield when he stopped a suicide bomber. He sacrificed his life to save his fellow soldiers. The suicide bomber was attempting to reach soldiers running in a 5K race to benefit disabled soldiers at Bagram Airfield, as The Daily Mail reported.
The heroic soldier had deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He’d been awarded a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star and many other decorations.
Perry’s father, Marine veteran Stewart Perry, told the Mail that his son, a combat instructor, and the others who died — Pfc. Tyler Lubelt and two Army contractors who also perished in the blast — are heroes. They saved as many as 100 lives by thwarting the attack.
For unknown reasons, Perry said, the flight to Phoenix was 45 minutes late. The crew was worried the delay might cause the Perry family to miss their connecting flight.
So when the plane landed in Phoenix, the captain made an announcement for all passengers to remain seated so that a “special military family” pass, Perry said.
“Some people were saying, ‘This is just baloney,’ and, ‘I paid for first-class for this?’” Perry told The Record. “It was just disgusting behavior from people in first class. It was terrible to see.”
The comments from the first-class elites, who were unwilling to bend for a military family, drove the Perrys to tears as they walked through the cabin. “To hear the reaction of the flight being delayed because of a Gold Star family, and the first-class cabin booing — that was really upsetting, and it made us cry some more,” Perry told news station KOVR.
This cruel behavior by the favored few illuminates the pressing need to put our veterans and their families at the front of our American consciousness. The frightening example of a lack of empathy and compassion shows how respect for our military members and their families must be modeled to our children — respect for those heroes who provide our very freedom to ride in the comfort of first-class on an airplane, should we wish to and be able to afford it.
Perry said American Airlines did all they could for the family. He said, “You could see the disappointment from the flight crew,” regarding the behavior from fellow passengers.
The grieving father also told the Mail his son’s death should remind Americans why the American flag is not just a symbol for protest — it’s sacred. “It’s not for protest — it’s for the death of the people that are saving us. That’s what it’s for.”
Vice President Joe Biden was one of many dignitaries assembled at Dover Air Force Base to honor the fallen hero as his body returned to the U.S. ‘We really appreciate what Vice President Biden did and his care,” Perry told the Mail. “He stood on that flight line and saluted with his hand across his chest.”

That is the thing about heroes…they do it for everyone…people they don’t even know. There is always hope in their sacrifice that people will change. Many won’t..some will. Very, very many people, good people, will always deeply appreciate the sacrifices made by all those in the military and their families. Freedom is for those choosing to be idiots too…but maybe someday they will realize how much has be done for them. Even if they don’t..the gift is still phenomenal. From the bottom of my heart..THANK YOU everyone in the military, now and in the past. Thank you from my whole family. My dad was a marine in WW2. He landed on Iwo Jima and received a Purple heart there. He also served in Guadalcanal and Korean Conflict. He also was a wonderful person. Thank you…thank all of you.present, past and future. God Bless. C.C. Forche
Its not about freedom.
Its about protecting the opium poppy trade.
Or, the interests of big oil, and Wall Street profit.
It is very sad when any US military have to be sacrificed for protecting the drug trade, but that is all the war in Afghanistan is really about, and why it will never end.
Hopefully Trump will put an end to not only all these corrupt illegal wars, but also put a real crimp in the drug trade. That prospect has terrified a lot of very greedy evil people.
