发帖数: 581 | 1 200 Stranded Marines Needed A Plane Ride Home, Here's How Donald Trump
Responded
When Corporal Ryan Stickney and 200 of his fellow Marines prepared to return
to their families after Operation Desert Storm in 1991, a logistics error
forced them to turn to a surprising source for a ride home: Donald J. Trump.
Today, Stickney would like to say "thank you."
Stickney (left), was a squad leader in a TOW company of a Marine reserve
unit based in Miami, FL and spent approximately six months in Saudi Arabia
during the Gulf War between 1990 and 1991.
Upon his unit’s return to the United States, the former Marine says the
group spent several weeks decompressing at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina
before heading back to Miami.
Stickney recalls being told that a mistake had been made within the
logistics unit and that an aircraft wasn’t available to take the Marines
home on their scheduled departure date.
This—according to Stickney—is where Donald Trump comes in.
"The way the story was told to us was that Mr. Trump found out about it and
sent the airline down to take care of us. And that’s all we knew….I
remember asking 'Who is Donald Trump?' I truly didn't know anything about
him," the former Marine said.
Corporal Stickney snapped a photo to remember the day by:
The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed
send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to
transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home. No further details were
provided.
The Marine says he and his family are—to this day—grateful for Trump’s
kind gesture. "It may not seem like much to most people, but it was very
important to a bunch of jar heads and more importantly their families
waiting for them on the hot tarmac."
Stickney says that his father—a Korean War veteran and former Eastern
Airlines captain—claimed to have never seen a 727 turn around and refuel so
quickly. His father was so appreciative of Mr. Trump's help; he said he
would fly for Trump for free to thank him for what he did.
Stickney says that in his 28 years of public service, he has yet to see this
kind of support for the troops from any of the other candidates running for
president: "I have not seen a Clinton or Sanders plane, or anything else
for that matter, sent to support the troops."
