Yes, you know that I truly believe everything happens for a reason, right? Monday was a perfect example….
I got up extra early, headed to the airport for an early flight to South Carolina for another week of work. Traffic was heavy not only on Route 9 but also on the Toll Road. Parking was minimal which meant I had to park pretty far from the walk-way and check-in was backed up. All this equals….yep, you got it – missing my flight. Urgh!
But…while I’m waiting for the next flight I get to witness flags being hung, decorations being placed by a specific gate 
and a banner being hung….
what was all the fuss over? Well, you know me – I had to ask. Here’s what I learned….during the week of Veteran’s Day flights come into gate Z9 bringing Veterans in to go into DC and tour the area – specifically the World War II Memorial. Wow – that’s just the best.

Wow – that’s just the best. So I watched all the activity and learned that my ‘later’ flight was yet delayed…so what did this mean? I got to see a plane come in with Veterans on-board. I learned that it’s tradition for them to shoot water over the plane in honor of those that served our country. As I watched, it honestly gave me chills. 
I was so happy to witness this –
But, even better than that, last night when I came back in, the gate was still decorated with some activity underway. Several were boarding after a long day of touring to head back home. This gentleman was anxious to have his picture taken =) LOVE that!
So – here’s to all those that SERVE our country! Thank you – HAPPY VETERAN’S DAY!
That would of been pretty cool to see. He looks totally excited for his pic! lol Maybe he thought you were crazy for asking??!! lol
