'It made us cry some more': Gold Star family of soldier killed by suicide bomber during Veterans Day run get BOOED by American Airlines first class for delaying flight on way to pick up their dead son's body

The grieving father of a well-decorated Army soldier killed in Afghanistan says his family was booed by first class passengers for delaying a flight to meet his son's remains.
Sgt. John Perry, 30, died on Saturday at Bagram Airfield when he stopped a suicide bomber from reaching his target, a soldiers' 5K Veterans Day run to benefit disabled veterans.
His father, Stewart Perry, says his son, who was a combat instructor, and the others who died are heroes, as they may have saved more than 100 people's lives by stopping the bomber from reaching his target.
Some people have no respect. They should lose their freedom. :mad:

What... The... @#$!... There are no words for this. The only thing that comes to mind is... "What are these oxygen-thieving passengers' DU names"?

My understanding from the article is the pilot didn't say why they were a "special military family", though it shouldn't matter. I believe the father stated that "they didn't know we were a gold star family".
Again, that shouldn't matter and I'm not making any excuses for the behavior of the passengers.
