I can’t even believe how petty some people are. IJR reports about how a family lost their hero son, 30 year old Sgt. Perry, who may have save up to 100 people’s lives by stopping a bomber…. the bomber who ended up killing him. According to CBS Sacramento:

Sgt. John Perry was killed on Saturday in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber. His father, Stewart Perry, mourned the loss of his son at a service on Thursday. “Most importantly, I want people to know about the heroic thing that my son did,” he said. His son stumbled on the suicide bomber before he could reach his target, a soldiers’ 5K Veterans Day run. “He would have killed possibly 100, 200, who knows?” Perry said. Perry said his son’s death comes comes at a time military service is facing disrespect.

Instead of Americans being thankful — and even awestruck — by this sacrifice, some first class passengers were inconvenienced when the Perry family needed to get off the plane first in order to bring his body home.

The selfish passengers weren’t ashamed to show it:

Sgt. Perry’s father, Stewart Perry, told reporters that he and his family were booed, jeered, and hissed at by fellow passengers waiting at the gate when an announcement was made giving them special privileges on the flight to meet their son.

Talking to the New York Daily News, Mr. Perry said that he and his wife and daughter were delayed on an American Airlines flight going from Sacramento to Phoenix, but were let off the plane first so that they’d make their connecting flight to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware where they were to meet their son’s body.

Mr. Perry says the captain announced that the family of “military personnel” need to leave first, adding that he believed that some passengers were already told that there were family members of a fallen soldier were onboard.

That’s when the grieving father claims that passengers in first class began jeering and hissing, apparently indignant that they’d paid for first class for a reason, and it wasn’t to let other people off first.

What a shame. I truly hope this is an exception to the rule of how Gold star families are treated in this nation.

To the Perry family, you have our nation’s utmost respect and appreciation.
