In 1991, at the end of Desert Storm, a 19 yr. old US Army Cavalry Scout Private who had just spent 8 months at war sat out on a street at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.
He sat there on his duffle bag with his Battalion around him for 4 days waiting for the buses to come and take him to the King Fahad Airport so he could go home.
Unfortunately, the politicians of the day never planned for how to bring so many soldiers home after the war ended so there was a shortage of planes. Politicians are great at talking, but terrible at doing.
Finally, the buses came, and took the young man to the airport. The planes waiting were from Tower Air. The owner of Tower Air had volunteered his planes and staff to bring soldiers home for the cost of fuel only.
Happily, the young veteran got home just in time for Easter weekend in 1991, and spent that time emotionally healing with friends and family surrounding him.
That Private was me.

It's a shame some people just don't appreciate what a great American our President really is.
President Trump may have many “flaws” as we all do, but his love for our Country and his dedication to American People is second to none, including former presidents in this century.
It's because we have a group of politicians that are afraid their cookie jar is about to be locked.
...and it is a shame one believes everything they read. Check out items on google to see if they are true or fiction. IMO our President has done and is continuing to do good, so what's the point of spreading false info.
POLITICIANS did not get enough drug and oil money from that war.
Wow I didn't know that . One person with money who puts his money where his words are not like most wealthy people who complain and keep their money.
