Thanks, Docetboy, for sharing this article. It made me feel good that there are such compassionate people out there!

But it's kind of nagging at me that United Airlines sold those servicemen and women tickets knowing that there wouldn't be enough seats for everyone. Those soldiers should not have had to rely on the kindness of strangers to enable them to get where they needed to go.
