Praise God he made it home safe and sound. Please express to him our heartfelt gratitude for his unselfish acts of service and bravery he committed on behalf of our country.
Take care and God Bless,

Hadley fails to mention... John Wallace is "OUR" team member, not just Hadleys. He has 'senior moments' like I do.

just great our army can not even get their people home for christmas when they return to US soil after spending a year in iraq fighting for his country

I wish I lived along your route of travel, I would have been more than happy to be a part of a car train to get him home. Maybe some of the people on this site that live along that route will step up and help him get home.
I wish you guys the best and hoping that he gets to enjoy his holidays with friends and family.

Just a couple of ideas:
All of the major air freighters also sell limited passenger seats. This is a little known fact. DHL. UPS, FED EX, all have flights along that route. Also the American Red Cross can work wonders in getting military personnel on flights home.
You can also check with any airline employee who gets free travel permits or discounted passes and buy a ticket from them; 1 other option is to use a major credit card...like American Express...You sell them on the fact that you have a returning war hero who's only wish is to be home by 12/24...well you can't buy that kind of PR.
Also try major corporations like pepsi-cola, coca-cola, etc they all have corporate jets.
