Walking down the ramp on way to baggage claim at Buffalo airport I see a bunch of flashing lights outside the window and Fireman standing at attention. Stopping I realize it is for a soldier returning home. People stop, men can be seen removing hats, and total strangers weep openly for the fallen hero. Having just returned from a veterans charity event, I am reminded of having recently watched a movie on the subject - Taking Chance, staring Kevin Bacon. As powerful as that was it was even more moving to witness in person.
