Marine Double Amputee ‘Humiliated’ to Point of Tears on Delta Flight Gets Helping Hand From Fellow Vets

Dec. 13, 2012 10:42pm Tiffany Gabbay

Editor’s note: After you read the story below click here to learn about a very significant day this week for Christian Brown!

Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown Gets Help From Fellow Vets Following Delta Treatment

Facebook: Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown

“I have been flying with Delta for a gazillion years and this crew treated Chris worse than you’d treat any thing, not even any body.” That was the opening line of retired Army Lt. Col. Keith Gafford, during a phone interview about the egregious treatment on Delta Airlines of fellow veteran, Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown, who is now a double amputee following severe injuries acquired while serving in Afghanistan.

“I did 27 years in the military. I have seen a lot of things and have seen a lot of guys die, but I have never seen a Marine cry,” added Gafford. “What the kid said was, ‘I have given everything that I can give and this is the way I am being treated? This is how I will be treated for the rest of my life?’”

Gafford’s stern words came in defense of Brown, who just last Sunday was “humiliated” to the point of tears during a Delta flight from Atlanta to Washington. According to the Washington Post, the Marine was treated disrespectfully and clumsily when he was wheeled to the very back of the plane.

To make matters worse, retired Army Col. Nickey Knighton, who along with Gafford were on board at the time provided a detailed and scathing “customer care” report to Delta after other vets attempted to move Brown from coach to a first class seat offered by another flyer, but were refused by the in-flight crew. WaPo provides context including the fact that Brown was ill with a 104 degree temperature at the during the flight:

On Dec. 13, 2011, Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown was leading his squad on a foot patrol in Afghanistan’s Helmand province when he stepped on an explosive device that blew off both his legs, one above the knee, the other below his hip. He also lost part of his right index finger.

Knighton, a former helicopter pilot with nearly 30 years of service, who turned out to be seated in the same back row as Brown, assumed that because he boarded last, he would be seated up front for comfort and ease of exit in case of emergency. Instead, she wrote in a complaint obtained by “She The People,” he was squeezed into a narrow aviation wheelchair that “bumped up against stationary aisle seats as he was wheeled through the aircraft. [He] was obviously humiliated by being paraded through the aircraft and was visibly upset. I touched Brown on his shoulders and asked if he was okay. Tears ran down his face, but he did not cry out loud.”

What Knighton did not tell Delta, perhaps because she did not know, was that Brown, 29, was also very ill with a high fever. He was returning, via Atlanta, from a hunting trip in Alabama for injured service members to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Injured on his second deployment to Afghanistan after joining the Marines in April, 2009, Brown has spent nearly a year at the complex outside Washington, D.C.

Brown, a strapping six-footer when he enlisted, was flying back to Washington with a military “escort buddy,” but his mother told me that had she been with her son, “it would have turned out a little bit differently. I just can’t imagine what it was like for him, being that sick. He had a 104-degree fever and he was shaking. He was quite obviously sick.”

Brown and his mother, who live 25 miles north of Memphis in the town of Munford, declined to offer specifics about what he actually experienced on the plane.

During his phone interview, Gafford added that two first-class passengers offered Brown their seats, “but the flight attendant said we have to go.”

“How many times have we sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes? You could close the door and still make an adjustment,” he said soberly before blasting the flight-crew for being “hard as woodpecker lips.”

Meanwhile, Delta communications spokesman Michael R. Thomas offered an email-statement addressing Knighton’s letter:

Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown

“The story in no way reflects either Delta’s standard operating procedure or the very high regard we hold for our nation’s service members. We are sorry for the difficulties that transpired and are investigating this event to determine the appropriate next steps.”

When Thomas was pressed on what those next steps might be, he replied by email: “As previously stated, we are actively looking into the incident and have no additional details to share at this time.”

At the end of the day, what matters most to Knighton is that other wounded warrior are not degraded or treated in such a disrespectful manner.

“I don’t want another wounded warrior, a veteran, or anyone with any type of disability to be handled in this fashion. It was just senseless to me to the point of, ‘I can’t believe this is happening.’”

Very disrespectful. No matter what the injury is, he should have been treated with high regard and respect. These people should be reported, by name, to whoever is in charge of that operation. Why wasn’t something said at the time? All that rank, reportedly on board, should have stood up and done something, if they were able. I can’t imagine a military person allowing that to happen. God bless you marine.

  Hey Michael,
  
  Don’t you get it?
  
  The first thing that was on the Ayatollah Obama’s punch list was to decimate the US military. Fire high ranking officers not onboard with Treason against the US. Cut budgets. Support budget cuts for the military. Call a Muslim jihad terror attack INSIDE a US Army base that leaves 13 dead an example of “workplace violence.” Promote the publishing of a training manual that prohibits nasty talk about the Taliban.
  
  Guess what? Obama has succeeded. I wouldn’t tee-tee on the US Army brass if they were all on fire and I was their only hope.
  
  What do you reckon is Obama’s ultimate goal with the military? Would it be punching them in the head until the US Army will fire on US citizens when ordered to do so? That’s exactly whjt’s going on here, my friend!
  
  “Remember Benghazi and ALL the Traitors!”

  THIS IS HORRIBLE AND ONE MORE REASON FOR SECESSION
  
  This flight crew knew the Democrats and President disrespect our troops and were just following their example. Its a wonder the crew did not force the Marine to fly in the bathroom. In our new nation, this would never have happened. Who were the two people who tried to give this injured Marine their first class seats. I hope we find out some day. Too bad Delta is too big to fail.

  After we go to Sharia law and the Delta Hostess have to wear a full Burka I bet they squak the loudest. When they become the minority in 20 years and the Muslims are the majority they will be the ones in tears. I read that in less than 10 years it will happen to the Brits. All female Muslim women have to have at least 6 kids are they won’t gett their 72 young virgin males to meet them at heavens gate.

  More proof that unions have decimated respect for our culture and traditions. Most Flight Attendants are liberal, Gay, overstuffed middle aged men and women who have no respect for their customers. I worked in management for several airlines for over 30 years and for the most part the union flight crews are silly, self absorbed, lazy and disrespectful. Can’t say enough bad about them … Northwest, (now Delta) ,American and the old United are the worst. They actually believe that the World owes them a living. They cannot understand the concept that the customer is the only reason they are there. …without customers … no airline… they just are not smart enough to see that..

  Why didn’t they make a more forceful stand at the time? Is the fear of federal authority more than dignity of a wounded soldier? I guess so, even for a retired Col.
  No one was willing to go to jail to defend the dignity of this soldier. They’re willing to write letters, but that’s just cowardly. This is also why I do not believe anyone that says that they will stand up to federal authority if they do X Y Z. I have never see it, and I don’t expect to. If they aren’t willing to make a stand for a double amputee as he is humiliated in front of them, do you really expect these people to restore any lost freedom you had? Shame on you Lt. Col. Keith Gafford, and everyone else on that flight.

  Two months ago American stepped up and gave seats for the USMC Silent Drill Platoon to fly from D.C. to Houston. (This was right after the Navy military transportation got re-assigned at the last minute.) THEY know how important our military is to freedom in the sky.

  Zorro,
  It matters because loses his legs was in service. It’s not like he was a drunk driver that lost them in a crash. This is someone who was prepared to sacrifice all, and actually did sacrifice his body.
  
  I agree that no one should be treated with disrespect, but especially when it’s a wounded veteran.

  I disagree with your use of the word “especially.” It doesn’t make any sense to me. If this were a drunk driver, would it have been “less bad” for Delta to treat him that way? Perhaps in the minds of some it is but I would have been just as outraged. To me, it makes no difference.

  Can’t you guys stick with the story instead of politicizing it? Cops executing unarmed civilians, people beating each other up on Black Friday, one person stabbing another person to steal his Air Jordans, flight attendants being rude, our military ******* on the bodies of dead Taliban, etc.
  
  Our society is breaking down as a whole and you really cannot blame Obama for that. Personally, I think Obama needs to be tried for treason over Benghazi, but since we live in a democratic republic, he is a product of our society.
  
  I still think a boycott is uncalled for but I think it’s mostly all talk.

  I won’t fly Delta after they charged our Service Men for bringing home their gear from Iraq and Afghanistan. I ONLY fly Southwest. I have never been treated bad EVER. You can bet your boots that if this Air Force mama had been on board there would have been a couple bald flight attendants.
  The REALLY scary part is my youngest son who is an Airmen (I also have an AF Captain) took a poll of those he worked with at the AF base in DC. His question “If called to decide would they obey the Constitution or follow what ever OVomit told them to do (shooting civilians) No surprise all the White Airmen said they would obey the Constitution ALL the Blacks said they would do what ever OVomit told them to. Happy to say my son told them they would be the first to be shot because he wouldn’t follow orders from that bum if it went against the Constitution..

  A) Obama, the Dems & unions HATE the military .
  B) They “pretend” to like them while trying to rid America of the military.
  C) This administration has designs to open America up “to the world”, & the UN
  D) They refuse to call terrorist attacks terrorist attacks, but other attacks that are not terrorist attacks are terrorist attacks
  E) They refuse to tell the people the truth even when our law enforcement is murdered including Border patrols, but go after small businesses and individuals
  F) Criminals are admired; law-abiding citizens are not
  G) They have no love for the Constitution of the United States of America
  H) Stand with our enemies against the American people.
  I) Airlines are UNIONS.
  J) I rest my case.

  I had a flight attendant yell at me, literally yell at me on a flight to the shock of myself and surrounding passengers for having my bag between my feet ( something I had done on many other flights with other airlines). She was out of control.
  I think these people are under a lot of stress and are definitely taking it out on passengers. Could it have been because he had a fever? A fever can be bacterial in nature, so I wonder if people can fly with a fever if the origin of fever is not known?
  This Marine has given up life as he knew it for this country and should have been treated with utmost respect. We as a people, do need to stand, but while on board, they have you by the b*lls and threaten not leaving on time… Everyone should be treated like a human being. I don’t like flying anymore. People are rude, and then you get treated like a piece of meat for inspection. Gross!
  He may not have cried had he not been sick, I’m sure the tears of a Marine will do more to get Americans to demand better service or risk their profit margins.

  Delta Airlines has a ton of repair work to do. I’d suggest they look into Honor Flight dot org or Honorflightthemovie dot com. This is a volunteer movement to get our vets to Washington D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor. There isn’t one for our engagement in the middle east yet but then again, it took 60 years to build one for our WW II veterans. Priority is being given to WWII vets due to the estimated loss of 900 WWII vets per day. Next are the Korean War veterans. Space avail is for the remaining veterans. These flights are at ZERO cost to the veterans. Delta Air might want to consider setting up a couple of flights at no charge to the veteran volunteer group nor the vets.

  @crazyotto – Why are you so insistent that it was a union member that treated Cpl. Brown so horribly? Are you one of those narrowly focused individuals that tend to pigeonhole people in an organization for the acts of a few of it’s members? Rather short-sighted of you there old boy, and rather sloppy thinking. I’m a union member and quite frankly had I been there in first class on that flight I would have offered Cpl. Brown my seat with no hesitation and insisted to the crew that he take my seat – insisted to the point of rudeness if they insisted on carrying him past. I have nothing but respect for those men and women in uniform who have sacrificed their time, blood, sweat, tears, limb, and life to defend this great country of ours. And BTW there are plenty of military vets working in unions.

  This is absolutely disgusting to read about. I agree that the former military brass on the flight should have spoken up at the time it was happening, and so should the other people on the flight. The vast majority of people in this country have lost all respect for their fellow man, and are interested only in themselves. As far as the personnel on the flight are concerned, shame on them. They should all be fired. They sure wouldn’t have reacted that way had it been one of their own relatives. May God bless this vet and his family as well. I hope Delta Airlines does the right thing as a result of their investigation, but I highly doubt it.

  You have to remember this; the employees of Delta and all other airlines are all union, therefore they do as they please because they believe that are above reproach! It’s obvious that most of the people on the plane don’t give a crap about what happens to our volunteer warriors as long as they make their trip without the inconvenience of some poor sucker who decided to give his life to make theirs’ more comfortable. UNIONS are now seeing the end of their reign over America. This is why over 90% of your clothing is made in Taiwan, Vietnam and Mexico. The airline needs to make things right or go bankrupt!! I congratulate the people in 1st class that offered their seats for this true American.

IF I had to fly for expediency, I would not fly Delta. I swore off flying ( for vaca’s etc.) when the TSA was given authority to sexually assault the passengers and because of the high level of thefts from baggage handlers. I will send this to all mt ‘contacts’ and maybe, Delta will actually do something to these rude and mean spirited employees.

  Michael,
  I have been investigating the best way to get a response from Delta and have learned that it is through writing to them. There is an area that you can send a text or email statement to them, I think on Delta.com, but the best way to recieve action is to write them, which is what I am doing. For all that read this story and want to try to do something for Cpl. Brown, you can write the CEO of Delta for a better response to his treatment on flight.
  
  Rules for responses from an organization:
  keep it short & stick to the facts, and begin at the top — send it right to the CEO. You can get the name & headquarters information from Hoovers.com. You may not receive a personal reply, but it will get the attention from the company.
  
  Don’t just send e-mail. Sit down and write out a letter and mail an actual letter.
  
  Don’t send an email address with your letter or they may just respond through email. I have sent my phone number before with letters of concern and only received a phone call- the best response is a written one.
  
  I am very upset that this man was treated so terribly. If it were my son, I would be writing up a storm to Delta.
  I have no earthly idea why he was treated this way, but if more people write to Delta and voice their concern (without threatening to never fly with them again) then the greater response we will have from them on behalf of Cpl. Brown. God bless this man.

  @Zorro Its very simple, but I will use simple concepts and words to make it easy for you. The fact that he is a veteran matters because he became disabled Because of his conscious decision to serve his fellow citizens. Had he not decided to join the marine Corps he would not now be shy 2 legs. You are correct in your Basic concept that No disabled person should Ever be treated in this fashion. The issue at hand is that this particular individual is not disabled by birth or a car accident or carelessness, he is disabled through personal sacrifice for the animals that were mistreating him.
  
  It is apparent to me that you have never had any close family in military service.

  As I recall, this is not the FIRST incident with this airline..is it…something about charging them for luggage en route back home…can’t remember details. SHAME ON YOU DELTA for allowing ANY personnel to speak to any Hero like this. Our country depends upon our Military first. We used to be able to write good (or bad) letters and they used to mean something.
  
  I hope everyone on that flight writes a “bad” letter on the personnel from Delta who didn’t try to help. If someone in first class wanted to give up their seat, I can’t see why that would be a problem. PS I used to be a Delta Stewardess back when it was a great airlines. I’ve had enough of this smarmy treatment for all people Patriotic .

  Ok folks…let’s all TRY to be reasonable here…
  
  I totally agree…the conduct of THOSE individuals is reprehensible…now that we have established that, let ALL get the “mob mentality” out of this conversation!
  
  Delta employs somewhere around 75 thousand people. A reasonable person would ask…”I wonder how many of those Delta employees are VETERANS”??
  
  Another reasonable question might be…”does Delta Air Lines SUPPORT the military in any other important ways…”? OR “…is Delta REALLY the selfish mean spirited big company that is being slapped around here”?
  
  I was there on a Delta flight when the plane arrived at the gate in Boston, MA with one of OUR heros on board and his escorts. The captain made the announcement when the plane stopped the WE were proud to announce that WE were bringing home from Afganistan one of Americas heros, and would eveyrone please wait until military the escorts deplane prior to everyone else…THE PLANE WAS SILENT…as we all watched!
  
  Then in a few minutes, everyone could see the coffin of OUR dead hero carefully being removed from the plane with the escorts standing by and draping the coffin with an American flag.
  
  The coffin with OUR military hero was then placed into the hearse and drove off.
  
  Just because a few Delta employees use bad discretion….A REASONABLE PERSON…would know…that not all 75 thousand Delta Air Line employees are like that! every company has there share of insensitive people working

  Delta has had a mixed history when it comes to our vets. In 1969, I was flying Delta under orders and in uniform, when I had to make a plane change in Atlanta, GA, I got pulled off my flight and replaced by a college student flying standby. I had to take a bus to my base so as not to be AWOL. They did deliver my sea bag to the base a week later.

  Yeah, write them a strong letter, that’ll do the trick. Everyone will have forgotten about this in two months time. Delta is unlikely to lose much business over this. No one stood up for this man on the plane. They tried moderate solutions, but ultimately they bowed, bent knee, and let it happen. Words are cheap.. a dime a dozen.. Nothing will come of this, and it’ll be business as usual.

Your puked pathetic prose shows you lack honor; what are you, Taliban? You are lucky I’m not your waitress; I would dump a pot of coffee in your lap… oops. I mean vile speech like dog vomit on a hot summer day, that’s what your protected free speech is…
  
  @V15: tick tock tick tock, may You be first at the chopping block of Obama’s death squad, not our precious, precious veterans. Vets, we Love You, Honor You and Respect You.
  
  Delta, this is not the first time. Sensitivity training will not cut it. I will not fly Delta again. Sayonara, adios, hasta la vista to your profits. If anyone hold Delta stock, please go to the next annual meeting of shareholders and be heard. Let the investors hear what their employees are doing to our veterans; that will help ensure this crap stops.
  
  May God bless America and May God D@mn those incorrigible corrupted bass turds who distress or disrespect our veterans.

  I don’t know how hard it is to move a wheel chair down aisle in an airplane without bumping the aisle seats.
  
  What I would like to know is where it says you put disabled in the back of whatever section of the economy /coach when they have a ticket for economy or coach.
  
  It would seem much easier to seat them in the 1st row by the dividing wall with 1st class as there is room to maneuver there & it is a shorter trip. Regardless of the seat assignment a regular seat has got to be more comfortable than a wheel chair.
  
  Is he special? He is a double amputee from wounds he received protecting you. Yes, you obviously need protecting. Al Qaeda, a group of several thousand to 20,000 strong, declared war against the U.S.
  
  Mew Flash, you can’t win a war unless you go on offense. We tried to resolve this judicially. We petitioned the Taliban government to extradite Usama Bin Laden. They refused. If we had sat on our hands at that point & not invaded, it would be clear to Al Qaeda (but maybe not you) that there is very little risk for them as an organization. Attacks would & could be planned in relative safety. How safe would you be then? Throwing a few cruise missiles “DemocratNAM style” would not be effective. Bubba Clinton did so. Since the missiles were passing over a sovereign country that might think it is an attack & had the capability to shoot some of them down, he gave them notice. And some of them gave Usama notice. and the missiles hit empty

  So let’s recap. No there is not enough time so I’ll summarize. We tried the limited response approach to Al Qaeda. We tried the judicial/police approach to Al Qaeda. Neither worked. So we went to war. At least some of us did & some of us supported it. Some of us are too dumb to know our azzes are protected by the efforts of others. So yes Lance Cpl. Christian Brown is special & deserving of better treatment.

  @Walkabout This tell me that they didn’t want him in first class, because first class people get more attention than economy/business/whatever. They thought he’d be a pain in the rear, more work, whatever, so stick him in the back and let coach deal with him. Maybe they could all forget he was there. I also think this stems from O’s opinion of our vets. He probably wishes they had all died over seas.

  LCPL Brown did not have a ticket for 1st class. I get that. but if there had been an empty 1st class seat they should have put him there. Regardless, two 1st class passengers wanted to trade seats, so the flight crew definitely messed up due to laziness or contempt.
  
  If i were the lawyer I would argue that , the flight crew & by extension DELTA violated the Americans with Disabilities Act ADA & cause the LCPL Brown harm. I am betting that since he had an amputation below the hip that it is more painful to sit than an amputation above or below the knee. But it is not only the pain but actual damage. Those wheel chairs are not made for prolonged sitting. He should have been in a seat.
  
  With the right lawyer & the right experts, there won’t need to be a boycott.

  @NEIMAN1 Why are you bringing unions into this? Let me tell you something – there are military vets in unions and quite frankly I as a union member am quite pissed off at the treatment Delta gave Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown! That was completely disrespectful to one who sacrificed his time, blood, sweat, tears, and limbs in service to this country and I will never ever fly Delta again. I’m glad to see that there are those who were willing to offer Cpl. Brown their seats in first class and I would have not only been one of the first to do so had I been there but I would have insisted that he sit there despite anything the jackwagon crew had to say about it.

  http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/board.asp?ticker=DAL
  
  I would bet there are veterans on this Board; many pilots had combat experience before flying commercial. We need to sent snail mail to these men at the above locations marked “Personal and Confidential” so their secretaries do not open it. (We need to ask them to publicly condemn this incident and ensure a Delta top dog, NOT some p.r. person, makes a public apology to Chris Brown.) That way they are not sheltered from our outrage by their staff, who would just delete the emails. If enough of us do it, our voices will be heard.

Get the names out of who did what from Delta or witnesses.

Perhaps a veterans group can monitor and post this list to shed light on evil as it exists.

Any person who would bring harm or humiliation to a fellow service member or family should have to fight all of us who are service members or families of service members.

It is a good thing this old lady wasn’t on board, as I think I would have made the six o’clock news. This young man could be your son or brother or husband. He has already sacrificed so much for us all. He shouldn’t be humiliated. These young wounded warriors don’t want pity, but honor and respect. We should all play a role and make sure they get it.

  The man is a Marine, now and forever more. He is the best of the best and should be treated with dignity and respect (as should every other passenger). Passengers are the ones who pay your salary, flight crew.
  
  Thank you to the Army Colonels for stepping up and speaking up on the behalf of this American hero.
  
  Thank you to the two passengers who offered their seats in first class.
  
  Delta, no thanks to you this Marine was treated like poop, and you have no excuse! Maybe those flight crew members need to go back thru intensive training on how to treat people, esp obviously injured service members.

Although this story is about one airline, delta, the truth is that many people are unsympathetic to those of us with Disabilities. But to treat a young wounded warrior this way reminds me of the men I met back in the 1970s who were abused as they came back from vietnam. I can still remember how so many young men turned to drugs to escape that feeling of pure hate they felt as they just did what they HAD to do under the draft.

alot of this is the break down of society in general, the fact that people are so stressed, selfish and hate filled they can’t think of the needs or feelings of others. and don’t even get me started on ‘customer service’ or LACK OF SERVICE that is predominate today. As a person who has trained others in how to give proper service, I can tell you that less than 10% of all businesses teach what SERVICE means.

it’s not a job – it’s an attitude of the heart. This is why so many loving REAL Christians and Torah Jews make great customer service reps. We don’t take it personally – we look at a bigger picture of the customers needs/feelings. PLUS if the employer is smart, they don’t over burden their employees so they are not stressed and grouchy.

DELTA – if you want to stop being the worst air line in the continental US – then find a consultant to help you teach SERVICE to your employees

  I don’t even recognize this country anymore from the one I grew up in – the rot that had been going on slowing, secretly, relentlessly has finally become so pervasive – nothing is sacred or worth honor anymore. The left hates what made this country great and wants to rot and corrupt everything decent and that agenda is now in charge of all our institutions and this is its fruit.
  
  The breakdown of society in general is by design to take down a Judeo/Christian country from within to make the country so corrupt it stinks and drive us in a direction designed to destroy us. There is a deep cancer rotting us and there is no area this has not touched thanks to Fabians, Frankfurt School, Antonio Gramsci, Mattechine Society and Committee’s of Correspondence, Alinkski and his ilk – all the way to Obama.

First write to Delta and tell them what you think of their horrible treatment of this veteran, and that as a result you will never, ever fly with them again. Second, tell everyone you know to do the same thing. There’s nothing like a good old fashioned boycott to bring this company down.

  Are you kidding me, after returning from Iraq I was called a baby killer, murderer and other such names. When I was getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan I was told from a civilian employee that worked on the base that he had hoped that my unit all died over there. I remember walking through the Detroit Airport and all the looks of disgust I recieved.
  
  But in all fairness MOST of the time I was made to feel like a hero people offered there support and appreciation for everything we did. Strangers offering drinks at bars and to pay for our meals. In one airport (Kentucky) we were given a standing ovation and were pushed to the front of the lines (in Kentucky and Atlanta), not only by airport personel but by Americans standing in the same long holiday lines that we were in.
  
  My favorite memory of Iraq was when we were driving from Kuwait into Iraq there was a family they probably had 10 kids each running along our long convoy and the Mother and Father stood at the side of the road, the Husband had his arms wrapped around his Wife’s shoulder in a loving and supportive embrace and tears of joy were running down there face. I will NEVER forget them, they were the reason through all the hell that we kept pushing through. We knew we had support over there and for a lot of us, it made the unbearable, bearable. Sorry that went in a different direction thanks for listening.

  Since this complaining about Delta won’t accomplish much, and our wounded need to see this attitude in a positive way, how can people turn the anger at Delta’s attitude into something positive for this warrior and his brothers? Let’s try some good for our wounded instead. There are hundreds of them out there, how can we change society for the better for them? Maybe seeing our local youth organizations, and schools hear of their heroism and we need to publicly honor them. IDEAS PLEASE!

“hard as woodpecker lips.”

Thats a good one.
Put Delta out of business. If you’re flying with them, switch to another carrier.

  A bit of over reaction to blame the whole Delta airline for the actions of a few who I’m sure will be reprimanded as they should be. Unfortunate, but I’m sure they will handle it and make it right with the Marine. Semper Fi!

I have always despised flying Delta. Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise. I hope that those who do still flight that airline think twice about doing so in the future. Semper Fi Marine.

  My wife and I have been frequent fliers on Delta, are members of the Delta SkyMiles program, and have Delta American Express cards. Our daughter lives in Germany and we fly the Atlantic on a regular basis, usually on Delta. All of that is over. I am a retired lieutenant colonel and a Marine, and will not tolerate Delta’s despicable treatment of Cpl. Chris Brown. They will never see another cent of our money. I hope they go bankrupt.
