<p>Poor, poor kids. Some day, in the distant future, theyll look back on this & perhaps laugh? What a mess. Amtrak would have been a great idea had it worked out. You know, there are all kinds of good & kind people in the world. Hopefully a few are at the airport willing to give their seat to a kid in uniform to get him home for Xmas. Im keeping faith! Keep us updated JRH. Offer stands here as well. A train south will get him to me & all the chocolate cake he can hold.</p>
