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, Ron Knouse.  The Airline owner –

Donald J Trump.
