There is no more noble sacrifice our sons and daughters can give than putting their lives on the line for our freedom.
Sgt. John Perry gave his life for our country last week — and liberals literally booed his family.
The father of an American soldier recently killed in Afghanistan said he was on a flight to escort their hero son’s remains to his final resting place when passengers verbally assaulted him and his grieving family.
Stewart Perry, his wife and daughter were on an American Airlines flight Monday from Sacramento to Philadelphia with a transfer in Phoenix to receive the remains of his son, Sgt. John Perry, of Stockton, when the flight was delayed, The Stockton Record reported Saturday.
Perry, an ex-Marine who lives in Stockton, said the flight to Phoenix was 45 minutes late and the crew, fearing the Gold Star family could miss their connecting flight, made an announcement for passengers to remain seated to let a “special military family” deplane first.
Perry said several passengers in first class booed, complaining that it was “baloney” and that they paid first-class fares.
“It was just disgusting behavior from people in first class; it was terrible to see,” Perry said.
Perry, 30, and another American soldier died of injuries inflicted by an improvised explosive device Nov. 12 inside Bagram Airfield.
“I believe that the passengers knew there was a Gold Star family on board,” Perry said. “The woman sitting directly behind us touched me on the shoulder and asked if I was the father of the soldier killed in Afghanistan.”
The husband and father of two young children died a hero, his father said.
“He made a decision that saved a lot of people,” he said. “I was told that he was found protecting a female soldier. . He didn’t get to live a full life, but he lived.”

They are haters calling themselves liberals.
Hey, Mainstreet. I’m old enough to remember that, during the ’50’s and ’60’s, everyone knew that the term “progressive” was synonymous with the term Communist. Hillary admitted to being a Socialist. Please remember that Socialism, by its very nature, turns into Communism easily and imperceptibly as more and more people become dependent on the government for EVERYTHING. Sure sounds like Communism to me. Look at Hillary’s give everything to everyone for free agenda/policy. It is financially unsustainable and unsupportable. All it would do is further bankrupt America. Once bankrupt, martial law is declared, “In the best interest of the American people”, and what used to be called America becomes the newest Communist nation. While it’s good that we got rid of McCarthyism, what Richard Nixon said remains true: “The American public’s memory is, if anything, short.”. All the Left does, if a President they cannot control is elected, is wait four years, and try again. Civil unrest, and riots It’ll be Chelsea in 2020, mark my words.
At least we were able to perform a successful Hillarectomy this time, but please be aware that the Left is relentless. They haven’t given up since 1917, and they never will. ‘Nuff said.
EXCELLENT JIM.
That is why G.Soros has been trying so hard, to Bankrupt America, by using all his puppets to do the dirty work!!! Can you see! All these immigrants coming over & providing for them….is costing us! What PIGS! They are unjust, lawless, heartless, defying, haters, hell raising demonic imps! It is time to clean house Lord God!
You called it, Jim. Well said. Semper Fi, Stewart PERRY, and family. God Bless America.
When pilgrims first came the policy was to share. Bradford changed that when with don’t contribute then go hungry
Your comments are right on target but most people do not want to believe that. I continue to pray for that last person Jesus is waiting for to accept Him as Lord and Savior, before He returns for the rest of us. I so do not want to be in this world much longer, but yet I know there are people out there that I can still reach for Jesus.
They should be arrested, then they can be haters calling themselves jailbirds.
More than that … these are probably the rich bastards, whose investments these soldiers were fighting for … on second thoughts, no … those jerks are flying on their own private jets … the ones in first class are just jerks who think themselves better than everyone else.
Maybe they should be put on a no fly list for their abusive ,&repulsive attitudes to an American hero & his family.
How can they claim each person that booed was a Liberal. Did they interview each one and verify this? Don’t fall for media prevarications. Mainstream or otherwise in favor of liberals or conservatives controlling public opinion with false or assumed messages is wrong.
O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown has poisoned the left against everything “right” and decent including the military and their families – those involved have no compassion or understanding; therefore they don’t deserve our empathy or understanding. Had I been there I would have offered condolences, support and shouted down the “Liberal” know nothings involved.
Thoroughly investigate Pinocchiobama and EVERYTHING about him. I DO NOT believe he is an American. Has never acted like one. He is/was/has been nothing but trouble and a huge waste of taxes.
Wonder if any of these creatures sitting in first class would admit they were the ones that booed? Such entitled cowards.
they would probably point a finger at the next person, the should be VERY ASHAMED an have NOT RIGHT to call themselves AMERICAN , they can call them selves , THE DESPICABLE,S UN-AMERICANS. or DUA,s. But let it be one of the own family , coming home after sacrificing their selves for AMERICAN FREEDOM. I,ll be they would not be BOO-ING. ungrateful sorry bastards
They sound like swamp people to me.
We have a lot to un-indoctrinate due to Obama’s reign. Political correctness worked for a few but many suffered. PC has to go; every person is an individual and all should be treated equally, not some protected for one reason or another. We have enough laws on the books to take care of discrimination, bullying, hate crimes, police killings, etc. Now we just need to start enforcing them; become tough and make the own up to their mistakes. My one question is “why didn’t the other people on the plane say something to these imbeciles. First class fares but worse class flyers.
The un-indoctrination of which you speak will never happen in the current political environment. The best we might be able to do is
to somehow revamp the educational system in such a way as to protect
our children from the leftist agenda now being taught in public schools. Fat chance of that happening, in my opinion.
This reporting is nonsense. Since the folks in first class were the one’s complaining, what makes them liberals? How do you know they were not conservative or agnostic? There is an assumption here which boarders on very low quality “reporting”. Of course you see what you want and this works to create barriers in the people. It is so easy to claim all evil to one side of the political spectrum.
Because every stinking libturd I’ve ever run across hates the American military while siding with illegal invaders and muslim slimebag murderers. The Obama/Clinton left is evil whether you want to admit it or not.
To quote Ann Coulter Liberalism is a mental disorder
The bible clearly says that in the last days there wil be lovers of themselves haters of everything that is good . Be careful you stand Lest you fall. GOD’S very words are being fulfilled more rapidly than ever. Be warned so that your are not found sleeping !
Babylon (America) seems, in my opinion, about to fall. Given the instability of the USD, currently, “All in one day is Babylon fallen.”, may be predictive of what is soon to come to pass. A
Russian, or Chinese, EMP isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Bottom line: God is in charge; we’re not. He, alone, will determine the time and date. We need only to trust, be vigilant, and remain faithful.
I AM A KOREAN ,VIETBAM,AND A COLD WAR VETERAN AND BELEIVE ME WHAT AN INSULT OF A SO CALLED AMERICAN IF I WOULD OF BEEN ON BOARD I WOULD SLAPED THESE BASTARD UP SIDE THEIR HEADS TO WAKE THEM UP HE DIED SO YOU COULD LIVE YOUR MEANING LESS LIFE I AM 80 YEARS OLD A 25 YEAR VETERAN DISABLED UNITED STATES NAVY AND I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR SUCH FIFTHLY BASTARDS LIKE I BELEIVE OUR COUNTRY NEEDS A REALY BAD CLEAN UP STARTING WITH OBAMA,HRC, AND ALL RATS /COMMUNISTS /NAZI PLUS THE KKK AND ANYONE I MISSED
I, TOO AM A VETERAN (WOMAN MARINE) OF THE KOREAN WAR. I OFTEN THINK OF THE MAN I REPLACED WHO HAD BEEN SENT TO kOREA AND NEVER RETURNED. I WAS ONLY 18 AND REMAINED STATE-SIDE BECAUSE OF MY AGE. FfUNNY, ISN’T IT? i WAS OLD ENOUGH TO SERVE BUT NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE ACTUALLY GONE OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. ANYWAY, THE MARINE WHO NEVER RETURNED WAS ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS.
At least the American public was able to perform a successful Hillarectomy. Watch out for Chelsea in 2020. She’s coming, mark my words.
By the way, I’m
ex-military, myself, but, given the way people on the internet are these days, I see no reason to indicate my branch of service or MOS. Nobody has a need to know other than those who already do.
My Dad always said, “Never give away any free shots. Make them earn ’em”. It’s not paranoia, I hope. It’s just covering your own butt, in my opinion. Stay healthy.
Just listen up to Inaguration Day & I’m sure you can up w/ longer list. It’s this disgraceful group that has led to coast-to-coast weakness in the people that follow the demon teachings of how Our Democracy should work with the “Do as I say” preaching. Fortunately, the non-followers of this liberal, socialist left wing thinking have been heard and we have a POTUS Elect that is the antithesis of such moronic, disgraceful, anti-good people allowed to walk God’s Green Earth. And Sir, I appreciate the sacrifices you have made for the Country I love and that you and all the people who have sworn to protect us, even those Sheeple who have brought shame to this country starting w/ that 44th & his 8 years.
I’m also a Nam Vet and still hate the protesters of that time, had I been on that plane I problely knock the crap out of the low lifes…..Maybe thats what we have to do with some of these a..holes….All Vets take notice!
I’d have lent my voice, but wouldn’t have gotten myself arrested by doing anything physical. NOYB what my military qualifications are/were. Suffice it to say that we, given our “skills”, were taught, first, never to show our hand, and second, never to fail to
exercise self control. If lives are at stake, that’s a horse of a different color. In this case, you’d have been better advised to stand down unless things turned violent. Even if they had, you’d still have had to use extreme caution before opting to join the fray. How the situation unfolds should
determine what, if any, action(s) you decide to take.
So I guess my question is to LIBERAL AMERICA.
What is it that you want? What is it that will make you happy? What is it that will have you stopped demonstrating and rioting in the streets?
Because ONE THING IS FOR SURE – If we don’t protect ourselves militarily when they enemies are finally at the door or shores then what? When your freedoms are completely taken away by way of the government paying for everything and the government taking away religious freedoms (or we will all be forced to become MUSLIM) I just do not see why on the Liberal Side everybody HATES everything that isn’t them.
That sounds a lot like the radical Moslems trying to take control of the world.
I wonder if aany of the people that booed had or have had any of their family members serving in the armed forces ,how would they feel if one of theirs wwere killed in the line of service ,How sad and disrespictful !God bless this young man and his family !!!!!Thank you to all the men and women who are serving !!!!!You alll are true HEROS !!!!MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALLL AND.KEEP YOU SAFE. !!!!!!!
Part of the problem is so few people in our country know anything about the Military anymore. The percentage of the population either in the Military or are families of Military is at an all time low. In the 1940s there wouldn’t have been this display in public. They wouldn’t have dared to talk like that. These people were just so outraged over a couple of minutes!! Man are we in trouble!!
The people that done that need to be drawn an quartered,that is just unexcused behavior,if we knew there names that would be great,look where they came from the most Libtard state in the union,sorry excuses for humans…….
First off I am an Army Combat Support nurse since 1988 and served for over a year in Desert Storm and this war. I do not consider myself a hero; but I do consider and respect and believe the title of hero is appropriate for those who died doing what they thought right for this country. I am pleased to say, I did not serve under O who I detest and who has been responsible for the deaths of so many of our men downrange. He changed the Rules of Engagement when first coming into office making it difficult for our people to defend themselves. I am not surprised that people who voted for O and wanted Hillary act like this. We see their ugly faces everywhere now especially on the stage. If I had been on that plane I would have given those ungrateful and pathetic pieces of liberal excrement something to boo hoo about.
I would like to see them all leave this country like so many promised and I surely don’t go to any duty station with them in mind. I don’t serve them. I don’t even like them. I don’t consider them Americans and I wouldn’t die for them. Neither did these men die for the likes of them. So it was no insult it was a sign to all of us that we have enemies in our midst.
Well said! Thank you for serving….and God Bless you!
I am a retired U,S. Navy “NAM service of three years. I will never forget the “HATRED’ of the military. It is happening again. People everywhere, STAND UP and be counted for our military men and women AND their families. We will be in DEEP TROUBLE if we allow this to happen again! May the Lord bless us all in this fight for the RIGHT!
American Airlines should publish the list of the names of these “knuckleheads” in First Class so, like the Anarchists on the Left, we can go to their homes & businesses to protest! What outrageous behavior. Really, you cannot wait two minutes for a family who is taking the remains of their son, their brother, their father, to pass through the cabin to make a flight. I have been traveling for over 20+ years and this always happens for even the most minimum of requests and passengers often…WITHOUT complaint!
Give me a break!
not all people flying first class are LIBERALS. the ones that booed are just a bunch of ignoramuses who think they are better than everybody else and they should be ashamed of themselves. (they probably also did not pay for their ticket.) i strongly believe what comes around goes around and they will get theirs. my condolences to the gold star family.
Most people don’t like to be detained regardless of the reason. I’m sure several other people on board also had concerns about making connecting flights. I don’t think most people are unappreciative of this family’s loss. They just found themselves in a situation where they were under the stress of being late.
Justin that is absolutely NO excuse for their behavior! They behaved like ungrateful little cowards who had a temper tantrum like little children. If my kid had done that to the family of a fallen hero they probably would have worn the imprint of the back of my hand across their face. But my kids know what sacrifice is as I served in the Active Army for 22 years and they were drug all over the world and saw how the other side lives, They thank God are not spoiled like the ones who boo’d!
Americans better take control over these kinds of people in our country.. we need to put the. I There Place OR Get THEM Out Of Our country. This instance, the protesting. Pulling stock out of stores that are made from president elects family a d not designin for the elect first lady is like we are to be teaching our children on bullying . If the’s stoes wold igore these jealous people they wil, shop or travel overseas to buy.. Maybe decide to stay there. SO WAKE UP AND STAND UP TO THESE PEOPLE WHO belong living in another country NOT CHANGING OURS. Or your children and grandchildren will never get a chance to experience this wonderful country our ancestors fought to give us a chance to enjoy. God Bless our military and police.who have not given up.
This is incredibly sad…I thought we were over this. I served 22 years in the Army and am a Viet Nam veteran. I thought that we had turned the corner as a country and were honoring our service men and women again. This is the first time that I have heard of such ungrateful behavior since the Viet Nam era when it was common place. Shame on these people and let us all denounce them for the cowards they are. LTC Duston Rose USA(ret).
The bastards in first class that boo’d a fallen hero’s family should have been put off the flight and immediately put on board a flight for Iran or even China where they can live their elitist life style. Ooh I’m sorry but the elitist in those countries are routinely put to death not a bad idea but totally unlawful here. Maybe they should consider the sacrifice and inconvenience made by the soldier and his Gold Star Family so that they can behave like the spoiled little brats they are!
The nature of liberalism is rebellion against the “establishment” of the Judeo/Christian principles of morality, respect, patience, longsuffering, and understanding. The radicals of the New Age Movement poisoned that atmosphere. Their rebellious natures made them unfeeling, impatient, uncaring, short tempered, lacking in thankfulness and understanding, and most of all, filled to the eyebrows with me-ism. It’s too bad some ex-marines weren’t present there to crack some heads together!
I too am a veteran with 23 days short of 32 years service. I had four campaigns in Nam, but most of my time was in the cold war where I was making sure that WW III did not start. These people just don’t appreciate the sacrifices that the military takes for them to keep their rights to their freedoms. We need to re-educate the populace about what freedom means and takes to continue. Too many of our freedoms have usurped already. I hope that the new administration as able to correct the situation.
You only need to reeducate those folks. The majority of us respect and honor our police and military and would give you whatever you needed to have to be successful defending our Nation and what it stands for. Don’t think for one minute that those folks represent the majority in this Country when it comes to having your backs. We appreciate on a daily basis the sacrifices all of our Military have made for us over the years. It is a National Disgrace how this particular Administration has treated our Veterans. President Trump will turn that around for sure. God Bless you and thank you for your service.
There’s such a fine line between socialism and communism that they are almost indistinguishable. I’ll give you an example; you have a lawnmower, your neighbor needs one so takes it.-socialism The state is everything-communism You might have some food or trinkets. After Chulai I’ve never trusted commies.
Jontak, I have a cousin who just came back from Afghanistan. First thing she was told to do was kill an enemy and take his weapon. Ours well look at it this way, I hope you didn’t have to deal with them, but plastic canteens. Ruins the taste of water and you can’t heat anything in them. That’s what Marines have to use now, besides being a little handcuffed, Obama didn’t want good reports. Nice that he’ll be gone soon.
This is one of the most horrible things I have read and I have read plenty. These people no matter where they are was not taught respect for anyone. They have no idea what these soldiers are giving up for their safe place in this world. All they are thinking about is themselves. They better pray to God cause they surely will need his forgiveness when the end of time comes.
Where in the article does it say that the people who booed were Liberals? I am a liberal and I find that behavior unacceptable. Had I been on that plane, I would have given the booers what-for. Why do so many conservatives believe that whenever anybody does something wrong, that automatically makes that person a liberal.
I would remind you that liberals do not accept disrespectful behavior toward anyone. In fact, their usual attitude is the “political correctness” which people on the right decry.
I find it interesting that when a Muslim parent felt Trump disrespected his son the entire liberal contingent was in an uproar despite the fact that this particular parent was connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and was greasing the skids for Muslims to enter the USA. Once that was found out things died down a bit. However, now that the liberals disrespect a Gold Medal Family, the silence is deafening. Personally, I can’t wait for the civil war so we can annihilate these hypocrites. No quarter and no mercy.
It is time we officially recognize American Liberals as the enemy…. more dangerous to us than ISIS….
Libs are ignorant, intolerant, misguided fools…… enough of them and the Obamacans….
we have survived…. now let’s beat these aholes
Next time the flight crew should have the captain leave on the seatbelt fastened sign and then ask all the stewards and stewardesses escort the family to the deplane area and then the captain can turn off the seatbelt sign. disobeying the flight crew is a federal offense. Enough said …
These ignorant elites are too stupid to realize people like this hero are the ones protecting them from enemies who want to stop any freedoms we have. They are gutter garbage and will get theirs eventually…….
I could care less what someone’s political affiliation, to treat anyone in this manner is horrid and inexcusable. I pray these individuals suffer at the hand of God Almighty for their lack of compassion and understanding.
They should have kept the first class on board shut the doors and flown them to Iraq and dumped there libilral butts out and left them there!
Matthew N. Feller and Marilyn Gerhardt First let me thank you both for your service. I am a young (78) DAV and I think a lot of our problems with patriotism started with ending the draft. Our military is currently allowing illegal aliens into it’s ranks and they do not take an oath. I just saw an interview on Fox News where the anchor asked the person why he was trying to sue to have our American Flag taken down on the college campus. He was attending a very expensive school. It was disgusting. Take care both of you.
Those ignorant idiots probably never seen a day of service and can not figure out if it was not for the men and women serving these idiots would not have had a choice of what they do or where they go. I for one would have had no problem slapping these idiots in the face and I would have no problem being arrested for doing so and going to court and explaining why I did it.
This family had sacrificed the ultimate sacrifice and the worse thing to do is to have to bury one of your own children. I salute the Perry family and because they were going to pick up their sons remains American Airlines should have placed they in first class to begin with and whit what happened they should have had the idiots booing removed from the plane for disrupting the passengers which would have been embarrassing to them (maybe)
Most every word in the above comments are spot on, There’s just one thing , what liberals really want is not only what the few of them that work for , plus everything that the rest of us earn to try to get our families through this life with at least some level of comfort and meaning. The real problem with the youth today is the lack of parenting++ The word entitlement to them means everything they thank they want should be their’s just for the taking . Some of the older ones are still around teaching each generation the way to destroy others property ,to kick and cry , and protest, and burn our flag on our flag and march flying other country’s flag. Respect is in zero supply . They don’t know or even care that our land was paid for with the blood of those brave men they so disgracefully disrespected .
The idea of communism is good but would only work in an IDEAL world with all law abiding, giving and hard working caring people. Also what is good for the Geese (Leaders) is good for the Gander so all government workers have to receive the same not like Obamacare. The world has to be a perfect society where brotherly love and selflessness abounds prior to having all in common. Reality is it Will NOT work in this present world with all the many takers, laziness, mean spirited and dishonesty. Democracy and Freedom!
Honestly it is sad that people regardless of where in the aircraft they are sitting would disrespect a fallen member of our military and their grieving family. It is a poor representation how patriotic our nation should be!
As to the people who did the grumbling and booing they are truly so self involved they have no respect for others and one day they will be in a position where karma pays this back I am sure.
The other note is it does not sound like it was every person in the first class cabin that was involved in this disrespect so be careful about saying things like American Airlines should post the names of those in the first class cabin so it would be known who is guilty. Guilty by being someplace is not accurate and one of the things our gallant military fight for.
It’s been a long time since I have given any consideration to the opinion of a democrat. Since they are so adamant about abortion I hope they practice. They are spoiled self center egotistical morons who have been indoctrinated with the entitlement propaganda.
The country would be a better place if they would learn from their parents mistake and get sterilized.
As a veteran, I join those who find the behavior of these wretched people extremely disgusting. Like many others who have posted here, I date back to the days of mandatory draft. Still, I volunteered. I would have made a huge fuss on that plane had I been on it.
