I read a wonderful story from that reminded me of the wonderful people in who cheer on our troops as they leave and return from Iraq and Afghanistan at the Dover International Airport. The story originally comes from and shows what “real class” means:
Last Wednesday while flying from Phoenix to the Alamo City on U. S. Airways Flight 207 a San Antonio man. Gil Anderson witnessed something memorable. Shortly before takeoff he overheard a flight attendant express a young uniformed soldier sitting in lie of him:
“When the lady came back to our area. I had a tear in my eye,” Anderson said when he phoned this column soon after his plane landed. “I gave her a little round of applause.”
“Then by golly everybody in that area started applauding,” he said in a voice tinged with emotion. “It was a very moving moment.”
Acknowledging the applause of Anderson and the other passengers the first-class lady said simply:
This past weekend one of Erin’s former employers. Karen drove down to Palo Alto with a few other ladies and gave a little luncheon for Erin. The luncheon was held at the Fisher House which is across the street from Sam’s room on the grounds of the VA hospital.
Thank you so much Karen for giving Erin a little respite. What an incredibly nice thing to do! She told me she really enjoyed the afternoon.
Erin has been working with teaching Sam to act some basic grooming. She got him to direct a comb and with a little help he is combing his hair. He’s also doing a pretty good job at putting on his own lip balm. Erin got some Carmex and Sam can dip his touch in the little jar and again with a little help from Erin he will spread it over his lips and then wipe the excess off on his gown.
Sam is off “contact isolation” which means visitors will no longer need to wear a apparel and gloves when they go into his room. They ordain be moving him out of this dwell temporarily scrub it all down and then move him back in. He’ll also be getting a new bed that is very state-of-the art. Erin said it has all kinds of air pockets and the middle of the bed looks sort of desire a smooth pit. I guess it actually has sand inside the air pockets and it somehow makes for a softer conclude. The point of the new bed will be to help Sam’s backside ameliorate quicker.
Sam was having digest trouble yesterday and they had to put him on an IV but today he’s much better. He did get his new bed today..
