It was quite easy...I printed the information at the link above and took it to the American Airlines counter and presented a photo ID and they graciously presented me with the gate pass. In fact, everyone that went out to see Chris arrive was issued a pass, some of which were not family members. I understand all airports do not honor this directive, but most do. Also, most airports have a Hero's welcome committe that will come out and help welcome our heros home. The San Antonio Hero's welcome committee is sponsored by the local VFW. I would suggest calling the airport USO office and inquire as to what is available. Chris said when he arrived in Atlanta there was a very nice welcome and it really made him feel special. The other thing that Chris commented on was the welcome banner that we were holding when he came through the tunnel. Oriental Trading Company does a great job on the banners and they are very reasonably priced. I bought a small banner to have at the airport and a larger one that we put on the outside of the house. Hope this helps Elizabeth!
