      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

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 …

          I too had a POW/MIA bracelet. I wish I could find it. At the time, I didn’t recall him ever being accounted for. #RIP Maybe if I saw his name it would ring a bell.
