Munford Marine Home After In-Flight Controversy
Score one for General Aviation! Wounded Marine Christian Brown is home in Munford, Tennessee. No thanks to Delta Airlines. Corporal Brown lost his legs to an I-E-D explosion in Afghanistan and his dignity to an airline now receiving a lot of bad PR for its treatment of a local war hero.

That wasn't the way we treated them when we met the C-9a Nightingale in Long Beach in 71-72. But then, they don't get spit upon off base now.
Joel, I remember taking the higher fare and wearing civvies after my separation at McChord in 72, to keep from getting spit on and heckled. This is just another atrocity not supported by the majority but defifinitly the mindset of an indiviual, and one that needs to be weeded out by DAL, as it is damn sure not their feeling.

It does appear there were those on the flight that cared. If I read this right, the Marine himself did not complain, at least verbally. It was those around him that brought this whole thing to light, BUT, they were ALL under command of the FA. You notice the Captain took a quick powder to keep from having to deal with it so he must have known something was going on and dumped it on the poor FO to handle. As I said earlier, I blame the FA and ultimately the Captain. Although he may not have known what was going on, it was his flight, but ultimately it was the lead FA or all of them. I guess it was her time of month.
