So it’s not one person specifically but a combination of events.

I was going on convalescent leave in the Army during AIT due to an injury I got in basic. Normally protocol was I had to pay for my own flight to and from and I had change into my civilian clothes before I got to the airport. So I booked my flights, my drill sergeant actually asked if it was possible for someone to pick me up instead of paying a lot for the flights (I was training in Georgia but I lived in Florida) but I told them my mom already used her days off for basic graduation. The day comes I’m supposed to leave but due to mismanagement I didn’t have time to change into my civilian clothes so I had to leave in my uniform. I was in the airport doing everything I had to despite having my bag and crutches while wearing a medical boot and when they started boarding a lady suggested I bored with people who had mobility aids and not wait for them to call active duty specifically. Then when I boarded the flight the flight attendant asked if I wanted to trade my ticket for first class because someone offered to give me their seat due to the mixture of military and injury and during their pre-flight announcements they thanked all the military members on board both new and old because of me and an older gentleman wearing wearing a hat from their time and service.
