 Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Brown, a disabled veteran, was wheeled down to the last row of the airplane and bumped up against aisle seats after he had assumed he would board toward the front. He was embarrassed to tears, the Washington Post reports. What’s more, when two first-class passengers on a Delta airlines flight saw Brown, who lost both his legs after stepping on an explosive device in Afghanistan, suffer a humiliating boarding process, they offered to switch seats with him — a gesture that was refused by the flight attendant, retired Army Lt. Col. Keith Gafford told the Washington Post. “[He] was obviously humiliated by being paraded through the aircraft and was visibly upset,” Retired Army Col. Nickey Knighton, a fellow passenger on the Atlanta to Washington flight wrote in a complaint, obtained by the Washington Post. “I touched Brown on his shoulders and asked if he was okay. Tears ran down his face, but he did not cry out loud.” To make matters worse, Brown was battling a high fever, and was heading to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., according to the Post. Delta issued a statement indicating they were investigating the incident, the news outlet reports. Sadly this isn’t the first time airlines have allegedly mistreated veterans. Last month, former Marine Sgt. Joseph Smith filed a lawsuit against United Airlines and airport workers at Chicago O’Hare International airport alleging that airline workers tipped over his wheelchair while boarding a plane, which caused his catheter bag to spill and left him to soak in his own urine on the flight, CBS Chicago reports. The incident happened two year ago, according to the Post. In July, Jim Stanek, a three-tour Iraq veteran said United Airlines employees kicked his service dog, Sarge, and asked him if he was retarded, the Daily Mail reports. He later posted a YouTube video describing the episode. Stanek, who has a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, says the incident has inspired him to reach out to others who have been mistreated by United Airlines staff and also to raise awareness for PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, according to the Daily Mail. ( CREDIT WASHINGTON POST) What is all the fuss about today? Flags, Police Dept, Sheriff Dept, Fire Dept’s, Traffic STOPPED……….Here is why.
HONOR!
Due to Capt. John “Giddy Up” Bunch of OOA: http://operationopenarms.org/ Christian Brown is having what is well deserved. A great time here in SWF. In Fort Myers to Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.

We are so honored to have spent a great day with LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT,FORT MYERS, FLORIDA TRAINING CENTER
Thanks to Sheriff Mike Scott, Lieutenant Larry King and Head K-9 Trainer Sgt. Frank Glover and all the staff of LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT
Meeting with the team of Sergeants and Deputies, we learned a lot of what they do to teach, train and keep these amazing dogs in great condition in many ways.
The dogs, save lives, find drugs and sometimes sadly get hurt in the line of duty, as they are many times the first to go in…….However, the dogs appear to be sweet, kind and loving not to mention beautiful. And they are, but…………beware! They know when it’s working time and they don’t mess around at all. Trust us; we got a taste of them. Strong and Smart!
The dogs at LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT,FORT MYERS, FLORIDA TRAINING CENTER range from 2 years old in training to 12 years depending on the ability level and health. Speaking of health, these dogs are taken very good care of. With a special diet and vet to check them frequently. With a ton of love. They are very in shape. They really seem to love their job and it almost looks like they are having fun at training, but they are really working. They enjoy it. “They basically play a game of hide and seek; the dogs are very valuable to us as we use them to locate all kinds of things. Humans, narcotics etc.. Our dogs are partners and as they saying goes…..a little bit different: Sheriffs best friend” States Sgt. Frank Glover.What we found so interesting is these dogs go home with these men and women who then are family dogs. Just like most of us have. When the special collar comes out and they get in the work vehicles they know, it’s work time. Really amazing.I hope these pictures can give you an idea of just how hard they all work and why. To be able to cover this was a wonderful experience and one we will not ever forget. Kevin even took one for the team and tried on one of the tools they use called the bite bar sleeve.

Nicole Glover won the Do The Right Thing in March because she decided she wanted to help someone in need around Christmas. She collected change and any money she got and filled a jar with it. She then took the jar to her guidance counselor and asked her to pick a family to receive the jar to buy Christmas presents. I t was not a lot of money but every little bit helps. This is Nicoles 3rd time winning DoThe Right Thing always to help someone else or animals. She is currently in the People to People Ambassador program and trying to raise the money for her trip this summer to England but after that I am sure she will be back to helping others. Nicole would appreciate any help she can get at Nemomoon@aol.com or 239-849-0198 Nicole Glover won the Do The Right Thing in March. This young lady is on her way making a big difference!

FORT MYERS FLORIDA, CAPTIVA ISLAND FLORIDA, SANIBEL ISLAND FLORIDA: THOMAS C. REED BURNSED
Fort Myers, Health|
FORT MYERS FLORIDA, CAPTIVA ISLAND FLORIDA, SANIBEL ISLAND FLORIDA: THOMAS C. REED BURNSED
THIS LETTER CAME TO ME FROM Sandy, Tommy was born in Battle Creek, Michigan June 26, 1949. We don’t know a lot about his early life. We do know that at some point after his birth parents died Tommy moved to Florida to live with his niece. That is when my parents, Jim and Dall Burnsed, met him. This would have been around 1975 and Tommy was probably 25 years old. We lived in a rural area east of Orlando and Tommy’s niece lived in our neighborhood. The situation was not a good one. Tommy was not allowed in his niece’s house. She made him sleep outside in a tool shed. He wasn’t allowed to shower or use the restroom in her house either. She also did not feed Tom. Pretty much, Tommy was homeless and alone. Tommy would walk around the neighborhood begging for food. My mother would make him bologna sandwiches. Once my dad realized what the situation was he and my mom started taking care of Tommy. When they decided to move to Sanibel they didn’t want to leave Tommy behind. I’m not sure how they convinced his niece to let him go with us but they did and, in 1980 my family moved to Sanibel and Tommy moved with us. Since then Tommy has lived with my parents. My parents cared for and loved Tommy as much as cared for and loved all of their other children. Family vacations, family pictures, holidays, everything we did, included Tom. When they moved to the Island my parents took a job managing Blind Pass Cottages and Marina. Tommy would walk around the property and collect coconuts. He made himself a little roadside stand and he would sell the coconuts. Returning guests and residents started calling him “Coconut Tom.” Tommy worked at the very first Lazy Flamingo washing dishes. I’m sure he wasn’t the best employee but everyone loved having Tommy around. In 1982 Jim started working as a fishing guide and Tommy became his first mate. Tommy enjoyed working on the boat with Jim. They were a team! Tommy also loved fishing tournaments. Mostly he enjoyed the parties and trophies that went along with the tournaments. Tommy worked with Jim on the boat until just a few years ago. Then he “retired” and spent his days at home with Dall. He loved Elvis Presley. He spent his days listening Elvis on his stereo and signing along while he made his potholders. He liked to work outside too. He had his own little tractor and would drive around the yard picking up sticks or raking a little. Tommy was born with Down’s syndrome and as the years went on he developed dementia. He also had a heart condition called aortic stenosis. In October 2012 the doctor’s told us that his heart condition was progressing and they gave him 6 months to a year. So, we threw him a party! He loved parties. I hired an Elvis impersonator and he brought Tommy up on stage with him. Tommy danced and sang and had a wonderful time. It was so great because Tommy’s dementia was really bad. My parents were afraid he wouldn’t know what was going on. I always tell my parents it was a miracle. God gave us one more day with the Tom we all remembered. On Friday, February 22, 2013 at 3:05 p.m. Tommy passed away. My mother and my sister, Tracy, were with him. They held his hand and told him they loved him. Tommy was a good man. He was always happy and he loved meeting people. His life’s accomplishments may not seem that great but the impact he had on my family and everyone he met was monumental. Since his passing people say things like, “Your family gave him a great life.” or “He was lucky you’re parents found him.” Bu the truth is Tommy that we are the lucky ones! We are so very lucky that Tom found us! We are all much better people for having known and loved him. Thank-you so much for this! It will mean the world to my mom and dad. They want everyone to know how much they loved Tommy and how important he was. No one should be discarded the way Tommy was. Especially people born with Down’s syndrome. These people aren’t insignificant burdens, they are God’s treasures and they should be loved and cherished. Trust me what you get in return is far greater than what you have to put in. Thanks Again, Amy (Burnsed) McKay PLEASE ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO AMY BURNSED MCKAY MADE:
HERE IS WHAT JUST SOME PEOPLE HAD TO SAY ABOUT TOMMY: LARRY THOMPSON OF THE LAZY FLAMINGO: ” TOMMY CAME AND WORKED FOR ME IN FEBRUARY OF 1988. HE DID EVERYTHING AND WAS ALWAYS HAPPY! FUNNY THING HE WANTED TO BE PAID IN ONE DOLLAR BILLS, IT MADE HIM FEEL LIKE HE HAD MORE. HE SHOWED ME HOW TO BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT. HE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY AND WAS VERY UPLIFTING. HE ALSO LIKED HIS BEER WHEN HE HAD A CHANCE. HE WILL BE GREATLY REMEMBERED” VICTOR MAYRON FORMALLY OF THE MUCKY DUCK: ” TOMMY WAS BLESSED WITH THE BURNSED FAMILY WHO PROVIDED HIM A WONDERFUL LIFE. TOMMY LOVED EVERYBODY. HIS SMILING FACE AND JOY OF LIFE AND THE HAPPINESS IN HIS HEART WAS VERY MUCH PROJECTED. I AM HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM. HE WAS WONDERFUL!” CAPT. LAMAR WILLIAMS: ” I WILL SO MISS TOMMY, HE WAS AMAZING. TOMMY COULD MEET A STRANGER AND GIVE THEM A BIG HUG AND KISS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. I WILL MISS HIM DEARLY, BUT NEVER FORGET THE GIFT HE GAVE TO OTHERS BY SHOWING SO MUCH LOVE.” HAROLD CHRISTY: ” SO MANY EXPERIENCES WITH TOMMY I COULD WRITE A BOOK. I ATTRIBUTE HIS LONG LIFE TO THE BURNSED FAMILY AND HIS LOVE, LAUGHTER AND PERSONAL HAPPINESS. HE WAS AMAZING. I AM HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM. “ CAPT. JIMMY BURNSED/BROTHER: “I AM PROUD OF MY FAMILY AND HAD MANY WONDERFUL TIMES WITH TOMMY. HE MADE EVERYONE LAUGH AND SMILE. HE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND. HE CHANGED MANY PEOPLES LIVES.
