      I’m at the airport in Dallas, waiting for my flight home to DC from El Paso, and something incredible is happening.

      Our incoming plane is carrying the remains of an American pilot shot down over Vietnam in 1967. His remains were only recently recovered and identified and brought back to the US.

      As we wait at the gate, we’re told that Captain Knight is coming home to Dallas. When he left from this very airport to fight in Vietnam his 5 year old son came to the airfield and waved goodbye. It was the last time he would see his father alive.

          What a privilege it was to witness this moment. For those asking, they announced it over the intercom. The gate agent was very emotional as he told the story over the PA. They handed out American flags to everyone at the gate.

          I am reading and blessed by the amazing outpouring of respect and patriotism. I also realized that this name seems familiar to me and it occurred to me that I knew this name. I wore his POW bracelet when I was a child. I would like to mail to his family. I am now crying. pic.twitter.com/1eJDH5JntF

          Pull up a chair, I’ve got a story about Lt. Col. Roy Knight Jr. and my dad, US Navy Vietnam veteran Bill Vichko. (Pics in thread.) For the better part of 47 years my dad wore a silver POW/MIA bracelet with Knight’s name engraved on it. These bracelets… https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1159615996644040706 …
